1957 Map of Spar City

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Spar City and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Continental Divide define this mid-century survey of Mineral County. The map documents a landscape split between the Rio Grande National Forest and the San Juan National Forest, where high peaks like Snowshoe Mtn and Mount Hope dominate the horizon. Evidence of the region's mining heritage is preserved through labels for the Emma Mine and the Denver Tunnel, situated near Monument Peak. Water systems are central to the area's geography, from the headwaters of the South Fork Rio Grande to high-elevation basins such as Lake Humphreys and Archuleta Lake. The map also captures recreation and early ranching locations, including the Columbine Campground, Hot Springs, and the Wagon Wheel Ranch, accessible via a network of routes like the Highline Trail and Elliot Trail.
