1970 Map of Minturn
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
Minturn and the industrial mining settlement of Gilman anchor this topographic study, which captures the corridor of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad as it follows the Eagle River. The landscape is dominated by the steep valley walls of the White River National Forest, where high-altitude geography meets the heavy extraction infrastructure of the Eagle Mine. Notable features include the Newhouse Tunnel and a significant Tailings Pond near Bolts Lake, reflecting the intensive zinc and silver mining operations that defined the area's mid-century economy.
