1953 Map of Mount Wilson

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Mining operations and high mountain peaks dominate this mid-century survey of the rugged San Miguel Mountains. The landscape is a testament to the industrial extraction of the era, featuring the Butterfly Mine (Active) and several legacy sites like the Old Butterfly Mine and San Bernardo Mine. Near the settlement of Ames, an Aerial Tramway and Water Tank illustrate the infrastructure required to transport ore and supplies through such steep elevation changes.
