USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Ophir and the nearby Ophir Loop represent the high-altitude mining and transportation hubs of the San Juan Mountains as they appeared in the mid-1950s. The landscape is marked by an extensive industrial history, with an Old RR Grade winding through the terrain alongside numerous high-country workings like the Gold King Mine, Suffolk Mine, and Silver Bell Mine. Educational foundations are noted at the Ophir Loop Sch, serving the families tied to these remote operations.
