1953 Map of Mount Wilson

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Mining operations and high-altitude transport networks define this portion of the San Miguel and Dolores River watersheds in the early 1950s. The industry-heavy landscape is evidenced by the Butterfly Mine (Active) and the San Bernardo Mine, alongside several sites already noted as inactive, such as the Coal Mine (Aban'd) and an Aerial Tramway (Aban'd) near Silver Pick Basin. These extraction points are connected by the winding route of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad, which navigates the steep grades near Lizard Head Pass.
