1945 Map of Mt. Lincoln

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape, marking a divide between the headwaters of the Arkansas River and the Blue River. Centered on the massive peaks of the Mosquito Range, including Mt Lincoln, Mt Democrat, and Mt Bross, the map documents an era of intense mountain industry and high-elevation transit. The high-altitude mining outpost of Climax sits at the summit of Fremont Pass, while the southern end of the sheet shows the settlement of Alma and the mining camp of Mineral Park. To the north, Breckenridge is depicted as a modest hub along the Blue River, connected by roads winding through French Gulch and Indiana Creek. This survey captures the region's complex geography of glaciated gulches and ridges before modern tourism reshaped the valley floors.
