1959 Map of Royal Gorge

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Arkansas River carves a dramatic course through the McIntyre Hills on this 1959 survey, anchored by the engineering marvel of the Royal Gorge. While the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad follows the river's edge, the map also captures several vanished points of interest, including Sunset City (Site), Yorkville (Site), and Galena (Site). These sites, alongside the Adamic Cow Camp, speak to the ephemeral nature of early mining and ranching outposts in this portion of the San Isabel National Forest.
