1935 Map of Mount Elbert

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Continental Divide anchors the western edge of this High Rockies landscape, where the massive peaks of Mt. Massive and Mt. Elbert tower over the Arkansas River valley. This 1935 survey captures a region defined by its industrial and agricultural layers, from the high-altitude mining operations near Leadville at Carbonate Hill and Iron Hill to the water management systems of the Twin Lakes Reservoir. The valley floor is busy with transport and infrastructure, following the path of the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR as it passes through Malta and Kobe. Small educational and social centers like Soda Springs Sch and the Mt. Massive Trout Club reflect the settled life of the mountain community, while the U.S. Fish Hatchery and U.S. Fish Nursery indicate a focused effort on local environmental management during the mid-1930s.
