1967 Map of Platoro

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Continental Divide forms a jagged spine through this high-altitude landscape, separating the headwaters of the Alamosa River and the East Fork San Juan River. In the late 1960s, the settlement of Platoro stood as a primary hub for mining and water management, situated just east of the expansive Platoro Reservoir. The area's industrial history is etched into the peaks, where the Mammoth Revenue Mine and several tunnels, including the Iowa Tunnel and French Tunnel, mark the legacy of mineral extraction in the San Juan Mountains.
