1960 Map of Redstone

About this map

Redstone sits at the heart of this mountain landscape, a company town established for coal mining that by 1960 shows the marks of its industrial heritage alongside a growing recreational identity. The Crystal River flows through the valley, flanked by the historic Coke Ovens and a small Cem that speak to the early settlement's workforce. Local geography is defined by steep drainage systems like Bulldog Creek and Hell Roaring Creek that cut through the surrounding White River National Forest. Evidence of extraction remains visible in the Mines dotting the slopes, while the presence of Penny Hot Springs and multiple sites like Janeway Campground indicate a post-war shift toward outdoor tourism. The rugged interior is accessible only by a network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails, connecting the valley to high-elevation landmarks such as Dooly Park and the peaks of the Elk Mountains.
