1960 Map of Mount Champion

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Mt Champion and the high-altitude industrial remains of the Pitkin and Lake County border define this high-alpine landscape at the start of the 1960s. The map illustrates the grueling infrastructure required for mining at nearly 14,000 feet, specifically the Champion Mine and its accompanying Champion Mill. An Aerial Tramway is clearly marked, connecting the mountain's steep slopes to the valley floor, a vital link for moving ore and supplies across the high peaks.
