2011 Map of Mount Antero

About this map

Mount Antero and Mount Princeton anchor this high-altitude survey of the Sawatch Range, where mining legacy and recreational development converge. Evidence of early mineral extraction is scattered throughout the drainages, including the Lucky Mine near Merriam Creek and the Shannon Last Chance Mine overlooking Chalk Creek. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, notably the Chalk Cliffs and the cascading waters at Agnes Vaille Falls. Modern access via County Rd-162 supports a network of sites like the Chalk Lake Campground and Mount Princeton Campground. The presence of the Bowen Ditch and several gulches, including Raspberry Gulch and Tie Gulch, illustrates the complex water management and topographical features required for both industry and settlement in this alpine environment.
