About this map

San Juan Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape where the Continental Divide winds between Hinsdale and Mineral counties. At the time of this 1904-1905 survey, the region was defined by massive forest reserves and remote mining outposts. The settlement of Whitecross and the high-elevation camp at Carson are shown alongside active drainage systems like the Gunnison River and the headwaters of the Rio Grande. The presence of Lakemans Fishponds near Santa Maria Lake suggests the early importance of recreation and resource management in these protected lands.
