1960 Map of Snowmass Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Elk Mountains peaks and high-altitude mining sites dominate this landscape at the intersection of the White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest. The settlement at Crystal and the Schofield (Site) represent the area's late 19th-century mining heritage, connected by a network of pack trails and early jeep roads. Industry is etched into the high basins through the Batoni Mine and Silver Spruce Mine, while the natural topography is defined by the North Fork Crystal River and the stark elevation of Snowmass Mountain. These 1960 records, updated with aerial data through 1982, illustrate the transition of the region from active resource extraction toward protected wilderness, evidenced by the designation of the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness and the Raggeds Wilderness. The map provides a precise account of the alpine hydrology, from Geneva Lake to the headwaters of the East River.
