USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Minturn and the surrounding Eagle River valley define this mid-century survey of Colorado’s high country. The local economy and settlement patterns are clearly anchored by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, which snakes through the steep canyons connecting Dowds and the mining-focused communities of Gilman, Belden, and Red Cliff. The presence of the Liberty Mine (Aband) and a Sawmill near Mill Creek indicates the industrial activity that sustained these precarious mountain towns.
