1960 Map of Snowmass Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Schofield (Site) sits at the base of Schofield Pass, marking a point of historical transition in the high country where the Crystal River begins its descent. This 1960 survey, revised in 1987, details a high-elevation alpine environment dominated by the Elk Mountains and protected within the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness and White River National Forest. The map captures the complex network of pack trails that served as the primary transit routes through steep basins like Lead King Basin and Fravert Basin. Industrial history is noted at the Sylvanite Mine, while the physical landscape is defined by massive peaks including Snowmass Mountain and Hagerman Peak. Dozens of glacial lakes, such as Snowmass Lake and Geneva Lake, are connected by high-altitude crossings like Trail Rider Pass and Frigid Air Pass, illustrating the challenging logistics of mining and movement in this part of the Rockies.
