2011 Map of Mount Massive

About this map

Mount Massive dominates the central landscape of this Colorado high-country survey, surrounded by a complex network of glacial lakes and alpine drainages. To the east, the Leadville National Fish Hatchery stands as a significant landmark near Evergreen Lakes, highlighting the area's long-standing conservation and resource management history. The map preserves a clear record of the region's mining legacy, particularly in the northeastern corner where several subterranean operations are clustered. These industrial features, including the Little Keystone Shaft Mine, Venture Shaft, and the Nelson Tunnel, indicate the extensive underground exploration for minerals near Sugarloaf Gulch. In the lower elevations, the reach of Halfmoon Creek and Elbert Creek provides space for seasonal recreation at the Halfmoon Campground and Elbert Creek Campground, while high-altitude waters like Windsor Lake and the North Halfmoon Lakes define the western wilderness terrain.
