1970 Map of Pando

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Camp Hale (Site) occupies the valley floor of the Eagle River in this 1970 snapshot, marking a high-altitude military training legacy in the Colorado Rockies. The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad follows the river's path, serving as the primary corridor through the high-country terrain between Hornsilver Mountain and Chicago Ridge. This period of the landscape reflects a shift toward recreation and historical preservation, with Hornsilver Campground and Blodgett Campground established near the old mining settlements of Pando and Mitchell. The presence of hydraulic engineering is evident in the Wurts Ditch, while the surrounding mountainsides remain dotted with industrial remnants like the El Capitan Mine and various unnamed Mines. The map captures the rugged character of the White River National Forest and Arapaho National Forest as they appeared before modern development further altered the valley.
