1950 Map of Minturn
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Minturn and the surrounding high-country settlements of the Eagle Valley appear here at a time of significant industrial and military presence in the Colorado Rockies. The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad snakes along the narrow canyon floor, serving the steep-sloped mining operations at Gilman and the rail-side hamlet of Belden. This era captures the landscape before the massive development of modern ski resorts, showing instead a world defined by the Liberty Mine (Aband) and the sprawling Camp Hale Military Reservation in the southern portion of the sheet.
