2011 Map of Red Cliff

About this map

Red Cliff sits along the Eagle River at the southern edge of this Eagle County landscape, a town defined by its mining history and proximity to the high peaks. The terrain is marked by legacy workings such as the Hornsilver Mine, Liberty Mine, and Iron Dike Mine, reflecting the mineral extraction that preceded the area's development into a recreation hub. To the north, the world-famous terrain of the Vail Ski Area dominates the slopes of Vail Mountain, including the expansive China Bowl, Sunup Bowl, and Northeast Bowl. This 2011 map contrasts the established industrial roots of the southern gulches with the modern infrastructure of the ski slopes at Mid Vail. Extensive forest service roads, including Shrine Pass Rd and Mill Creek Rd, weave through the high ridges, connecting the Turkey Creek drainage to prominent peaks like Shrine Mountain and Ptarmigan Point.
