1970 Map of Red Cliff

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Red Cliff (Redcliff PO) sits at the confluence of the Eagle River and Turkey Creek, serving as a focal point for this high-altitude region during the late 1960s and 1970s. The landscape is a study in contrasting land uses, from the industrial remnants of the Liberty Mine and Hornsilver Mine near Battle Mountain to the emerging recreation infrastructure at Vail Mountain. Significant terrain features like Ptarmigan Point and the series of bowls—including China Bowl and Sundown Bowl—illustrate the transition of the White River National Forest into a premier skiing destination.
