1955 Map of Mount Harvard

About this map

Winfield and Vicksburg anchor the upper reaches of Clear Creek in this mid-century look at the high Sawatch Range. The map details a landscape defined by the legacies of late-19th-century silver and gold extraction, with many settlements showing the quiet footprint of early mining camps that had transitioned into seasonal or remote outposts by the 1950s. High-altitude mining operations such as the Banker Mine and the Silver King Mine are positioned near the Continental Divide, which zigzags through the center of the quadrangle.
