1911 Map of Mount Jackson

About this map

Aspen serves as the focal point of this high-altitude survey, reflecting a landscape shaped by silver mining and the arrival of competing rail lines. The northern section is dominated by the Fryingpan River corridor, where the Colorado Midland RR tracks pass through small settlements like Thomasville, Meredith, and Ruedi. Further south, the rugged terrain around the Williams Mountains and the Sopris peaks is dotted with mining activity, including the Little Annie Mine and the Montezuma Mine near Ashcroft.
