1960 Map of Rico
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The mountain town of Rico serves as the focal point of this survey, situated along the Dolores River during a period of industrial transition. The landscape is heavily marked by its mining history, with numerous operations like the Enterprise Mine, Union Carbonate Mine, and Aztec Mine lining the slopes of Newman Hill and Dolores Mountain. Evidence of early transportation infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that follows the river valley, while the Rico Ranger Station indicates the management of the surrounding San Juan National Forest. The map captures a high-elevation terrain defined by prominent peaks such as Expectation Mountain and Storm Peak, where pack trails like the Highline Trail and Telephone Trail provided essential access to remote claims and summits.
