1934 Map of Taylor Park

About this map

Taylor Park Reservoir dominates this high-altitude landscape where the Taylor River meets a network of alpine creeks. The map documents a rugged transition in the early 20th-century Colorado economy, where industrial mining and seasonal ranching intersected. Scattered along the drainage of Pieplant Creek and the slopes of Forest Hill, several significant operations are recorded, including the Pieplant Mill, the Forest Hill Mine, and the Enterprise Mine near the Continental Divide.
