1967 Map of Summitville

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Summitville sits high in the Rio Grande National Forest, defined by a legacy of underground exploration evident in the numerous mines and named tunnels that punctuate the mountain slopes. The landscape is a complex network of high peaks and deep drainages, where the Wightman Fork and Cropsy Creek flow beneath the towering heights of South Mountain and Cropsy Mountain. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals the industrial footprint of the era, from the Chandler Tunnel to the Iowa Tunnel, alongside remote seasonal outposts like Hutchison Corral. The southern portion of the sheet follows the course of the Alamosa River past Stunner Cabin, showing a region where high-altitude mining operations and public forest lands intersect. Geologists and local historians can trace the intricate jeep trails and a pipeline that serviced these remote operations across the continental divide country.
