1938 Map of Mount Lincoln

About this map

Mt Lincoln and Mt Cameron anchor this survey of the high Rockies at the junctions of the Arapaho, White River, and Pike national forests. The map documents a landscape defined by mining-era settlements and high-altitude mountain passes, with the Southern Pacific line threading through the western valleys near Kokomo and Robinson. The northern edge captures the mining hub of Breckenridge along the Blue River, while the southern reaches descend toward Alma. The presence of the Wheeler Guard Station and established routes like Colo. 91 over Fremont Pass highlights the infrastructure required to manage these remote timber and mineral lands. For genealogists and researchers, the map provides a clear look at the relationship between the industrial operations at Climax and the surrounding drainage basins of Tenmile Creek and the Arkansas River.
