1934 Map of Taylor Park

About this map

The high-altitude mining and ranching economy of the Sawatch Mountains is captured here during the mid-1930s, a period when remote extraction operations and high-country cattle camps defined the landscape of the Gunnison National Forest. Centered on the Taylor Park Reservoir, the map documents a network of industrial sites including the Enterprise Mine, Forest Hill Mine, and Pieplant Mine, many of which were supported by dedicated processing facilities like the Pieplant Mill.
