1938 Map of Mount Lincoln

About this map

Breckenridge and the high Tenmile Range define this 1930s survey of the Colorado mineral belt. The landscape is a complex network of industrial extraction and high-altitude transit, with the Southern Pacific RR threading through the peaks to serve the molybdenum and silver operations at Climax and the now-lost townsite of Kokomo. This map documents a period when mining was the primary engine of the region, long before the area became synonymous with alpine recreation.
