About this map

Industrial alpine extraction and rugged mountain transit define this landscape, where the Rio Grande Southern Railroad snakes along the high ridges of the Miguel Mountains. The rugged peaks of Mount Wilson and Wilson Peak tower over a complex network of mining operations, including the Butterfly Mine and the San Bernardo Mine, which utilized an Aerial Tramway for transport through the steep terrain.
