1961 Map of South Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

High-altitude mining operations concentrate on the western slopes of the San Isabel National Forest, where a cluster of deep shafts suggests a legacy of intense silver or gold extraction. Notable excavations including the Yosemite shaft, California Tunnel, and the Yankee Blade shaft are situated near Low Pass Gulch, illustrating the industrial footprint on this mountain landscape. The topography transitions sharply from the 12,892-foot summit of South Peak down toward the Arkansas River valley.
