1960 Map of Snowmass Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Schofield (Site) sits at the head of Schofield Canyon, serving as a silent reminder of the mining activity that once defined this high-altitude landscape in the Elk Mountains. This 1960 survey, updated with 1980s data, details a region of dramatic verticality where the White River National Forest meets the Gunnison National Forest. The map traces the remnants of industry through the Baroni Mine and Silver Spruce Mine, while the transition toward wilderness is evident in the established boundaries of the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness. Hydrological networks are prominently featured, from the high Siberia Lake and Snowmass Lake to the headwaters of the Crystal River. A complex system of paths, including the Trail Rider Pass and numerous unnamed Pack Trails, provides the only access through the basin-and-peak terrain that separates Elko Park from the surrounding massifs.
