2011 Map of Spar City
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Spar City serves as the focal point for this survey of the San Juan Mountains, reflecting the area's legacy of extraction. The landscape is defined by its industrial history, specifically centered around Spar City Mine and the cluster of operations along the heights of Monument Peak. Notable sites include the Denver Tunnel Mine, Bird Creek Mine, and the Emma Mine, along with the significant engineering of the Denver Tunnel. This mountain terrain is carved by numerous watercourses such as Lime Creek and Polo Alto Creek, which drain into the Roaring Fork and Fisher Creek. Beyond the mining works, the area accommodates recreational use at the Ivy Creek Campground and Trailhead and North Lime Trailhead, providing access to the high elevations of Snowshoe Mountain and Fisher Mountain.
