About this map

Montezuma sits at the western foot of the Continental Divide, where the Snake River and Peru Cr converge amidst high alpine terrain. This area is a significant intersection of the White River National Forest, Arapaho National Forest, and Pike National Forest. The landscape is characterized by prominent peaks like Argentine Peak and Square Top Mtn, alongside specialized infrastructure such as the Harold D Roberts Tunnel.

Tracing the historical mining footprint is possible through the network of high-altitude routes like Saints John Road and Chatauqua Mine Road, or the crossings at Webster Pass. The map details the drainage patterns of the N Fork S Platte River and the complex system of basins, including Smelter Basin and Horseshoe Basin. Numerous high-elevation water bodies like Silver Dollar Lake and Geneva Lake dot the valleys between the Continental Mountains.
