1953 Map of Sly Park

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Sly Park Reservoir basin is shown here in its final stage of preparation, with blue hatching indicating the exact area destined to be submerged upon the completion of the Sly Park Dam. This transition marks a significant shift for the Eldorado National Forest, as the landscape moved from a focus on timber and mining toward water management and recreation. The map captures remnants of the region's industrial past, including the Shippen Mill (Site) and numerous hard-rock operations such as the Hazel Creek Mine and Blue Gouge Mine.
