1961 Map of Mount Axtell

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

High-altitude mining and timber operations define the topography of the Gunnison National Forest as it appeared in the early 1960s. The landscape is marked by the remnants of the silver and coal booms, including the Ruby (Site) and the Old Railroad Grade that once connected these remote camps. To the south, Baldwin serves as a focal point near active extractions like the Baldwin Mine and Kubler Mine, while the northern reaches near Kebler Pass show a complex network of pack trails and jeep tracks leading to the Keystone Mine and its associated Tailings Ponds. The presence of the Irwin Cem and former settlements like Floresta provides vital clues for genealogists tracking the families who worked the Anthracite Range. The map effectively captures the transition from industrial extraction to the managed wilderness of the mid-century forest service era.
