1967 Map of Pieplant

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the high-altitude terrain of the central Rockies in the mid-1960s, marking the intersection of the Gunnison, White River, and San Isabel national forests. This area is defined by its mining heritage, centered on the Pieplant Mine and the nearby Pieplant Mill (Site) along Pieplant Creek. These features indicate a localized industrial footprint within a landscape otherwise dominated by towering peaks like Jenkins Mountain and Grizzly Peak. Transportation through this steep geography is limited to specialized routes, including the rugged Timberline Trail and various unnamed Jeep Trails. The presence of the Dinner Station Campground along the Taylor River suggests the transition of this former mining district into a destination for mountain recreation and backcountry exploration during this era.
