1951 Map of Stump Spring

About this map

Industrial activity and timber management within the Eldorado National Forest are central to this 1951 topographic study. The landscape is defined by the steep ridges of Iron Mountain Ridge and Baltic Ridge, where several historical mill locations are recorded, including the Plum Creek Mill Site, Grand Mill Site, and Tuman Mill Site. These sites, along with a prominent Dismantled Railroad that snakes through the northern hills, point to an era of active logging and resource extraction.
