1970 Map of Minturn
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Minturn and Gilman serve as the primary hubs in this mountainous industrial corridor, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad follows the winding course of the Eagle River. The landscape is dominated by the extraction of mineral wealth, centered on the extensive Eagle Mine and its associated infrastructure like the Newhouse Tunnel and Air Shaft near the settlement of Belden. This 1970s record illustrates a valley balancing heavy industry with its role as a gateway to the surrounding wilderness, including the eastern reaches of the White River National Forest.
