1996 Map of Sugarloaf Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this portion of the Deerlodge National Forest, following the high ridgelines between the Powell and Jefferson county lines. This mid-1990s record of the high country highlights the extractive history of the region, featuring prospects, shafts, and mine shafts clustered near the headwaters of the South Fork Rocker Creek and Peterson Creek. The small settlement of Leadville sits at the base of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, serving as a waypoint in a landscape defined by prominent peaks like Sugarloaf Mountain and Black Mountain. The presence of Schurchs Tunnel and the Electronic Site on Blizzard Hill indicates the mixture of historical infrastructure and modern communications equipment maintained in this high-elevation terrain.
