1960 Map of Redstone

About this map

The settlement of Redstone serves as the focal point for this survey, situated where the Crystal River flows south toward the industrial remnants of the Coke Ovens. This area illustrates the late 19th-century transition from a coal-mining enclave to a wilderness-bound landscape, evidenced by the presence of numerous Mines tucked into the steep drainages. The river valley is flanked by the high elevations of the White River National Forest, where steep canyons like Hell Roaring Creek and Avalanche Creek descend into the main valley floor.
