About this map

Silverton serves as the focal point of this high-altitude survey, situated at the confluence of the Animas River, Mineral Cr, and Cement Cr. The town’s historical layout is visible through a grid of streets including Greene St, Blair St, and Reese St, while the Hillside Cem sits on the northern edge of the settlement. Surrounding the valley, the terrain is defined by extreme elevations within the San Juan National Forest, featuring prominent peaks such as Sultan Mtn, Anvil Mtn, and the distinctive Grand Turk.

Geographic landmarks like Ophir Pass and Chattanooga Hot Spring highlight the region's long-standing role in transit and recreation. The map also traces intricate hydrological patterns and gulches, from Fairview Gulch to Deadwood Gulch, alongside recreational routes like the Twin Sisters Trail / Colorado Trail and the Whitehead Trail. The presence of Burro Bridge and various numbered county roads illustrates the modern infrastructure used to navigate this complex mountain landscape.
