1970 Map of Pando

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Camp Hale (Site) serves as the primary historical landmark on this sheet, representing the remains of the famed high-altitude training center for the 10th Mountain Division. Situated along the Eagle River, the site is flanked by the settlement of Pando and the dramatic slopes of Hornsilver Mountain. The landscape reveals a complex history of military training and resource extraction, with an Old Railroad Grade and Fiddler Grade winding through the valley. Evidence of the area's mining legacy appears in the numerous Prospects and the El Capitan Mine located near Taylor Hill. To the west, the Holy Cross Wilderness and White River National Forest provide a backdrop for the extensive hydrological network, including the Wurts Ditch and the South Fork Eagle River. The presence of several established sites like the Camp Hale Memorial Campground indicates the transition of this area from a critical military post into a recreational mountain corridor.
