1909 Map of Mount Jackson

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Aspen sits at the heart of this high-altitude survey, serving as a hub for the silver mining and rail activity that defined the Sawatch Range during the early twentieth century. The map illustrates a landscape of deep valleys and sharp peaks, where the Colorado Midland RR and the Denver & Rio Grande RR navigated the difficult terrain to reach remote outposts. Significant mining operations like the Little Annie Mine and Montezuma Mine are documented near the settlements of Highland and Ashcroft, providing a record of the industry that sustained these communities. Along the Fryingpan River, smaller railroad stops such as Thomasville, Meredith, and Ruedi appear as vital points of connection for the region's isolated residents. The presence of the Taylor School and numerous named gulches and peaks, including the Continental Divide and Mt Jackson, provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and natural landmarks of the era.
