1974 Map of Montezuma

About this map

High alpine mining camps and high-altitude passes define this rugged section of the Continental Divide during the mid-20th century. The remote settlement of Montezuma sits at the heart of a dense network of silver and lead claims, surrounded by historic sites like Saints John, Swandyke, and Graymont. The industrial footprint is extensive, with dozens of named excavations including the Seven-Thirty Mine, Pennsylvania Mine, and the Radical Mines scattered across the steep drainages of the Snake River and Clear Creek.
