1938 Map of Mount Lincoln

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Breckenridge stands at the northern edge of this high-altitude survey, serving as a hub for the mining and water networks of the Mosquito and Tenmile ranges. The landscape is defined by its industrial geography, where settlements like Kokomo, Robinson, and Climax are positioned along the upper reaches of the Arkansas River and Tenmile Creek. The map records the infrastructure of resource extraction during the mid-1930s, including the Southern Pacific rail line and specific mining sites such as Autocrat and Quartzville. The intersection of multiple county lines—Summit, Lake, Eagle, and Park—converges near prominent peaks like Mt Lincoln and Mt Democrat, illustrating how political boundaries were often dictated by the divide. Significant water management features, including the Montgomery Reservoir and Blue Lakes, highlight the critical role of this terrain in the state's drainage system, feeding both the Blue River and the South Platte River.
