1938 Map of Mount Lincoln

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

High-altitude mining camps and transportation corridors define this survey of the Tenmile and Mosquito Ranges, conducted across several decades. The settlement of Breckenridge anchors the northeast, where the Blue River meets French Gulch. To the west, the industrial character of the era is evident at Climax, situated at Fremont Pass, and the nearby mining settlement of Recen (Kokomo PO). The topography is dominated by the massive peaks of the Continental Divide, including Quandary Peak and Mt Lincoln. The Southern Pacific railroad and State Highway 91 provide the vital links between these remote outposts, tracing the narrow valleys of Tenmile Creek. Scattered throughout the high basins are numerous United States Location Monuments, such as USLM Quartzville, marking the legacy of mineral claims in the Arapaho and Pike National Forests.
