2011 Map of Minturn

About this map

Minturn serves as the central hub for this high-altitude corridor along the Eagle River, where mountain recreation and industrial history meet. To the south, the map documents a dense concentration of mining operations including the Eagle Mine, Red Cliff District Mine, and Ben Butler Mine near the settlements of Gilman and Belden. These sites, connected by features like the Newhouse Tunnel, trace the region's legacy of zinc and silver extraction. The landscape transitions from the residential streets of Maloit Park to the expansive slopes of the Vail Ski Area and Game Creek Bowl in the northeast. Water management for the area is evident through the Nottingham and Puder Ditch and the Bolts Lake Dam. Higher elevations reveal a network of trails and spiritual markers like the Tigwon Community House, providing a detailed look at the social and economic geography of the Eagle River Valley.
