1913 Map of Summitville

About this map

The high-altitude mining district of Summitville and the Alamosa River canyon anchor this 1913 survey, detailing a landscape defined by the Continental Divide and the headwaters of the San Juan River. The mining activity of the era is concentrated in the northeast, where labels like the Asiatic Mine, Pass Me By Mine, and Mammoth Mine sit high above the settlement of Stunner. These industrial footprints contrast with the ranching and timber focus further south and west along the river bottoms.
