2013 Map of Telluride

About this map

Telluride serves as the focal point of this high-altitude survey, where the town's grid meets the dramatic verticality of the San Juan Mountains. The landscape is a complex network of historical industrial sites and modern recreational development, featuring the Pandora Mill at the head of the canyon and the widespread Telluride Ski Area to the south. Significant water features like Bridal Veil Falls and Ingram Falls illustrate the steep descent of the San Miguel River headwaters. High basins such as Yankee Boy Basin and Governor Basin are accessible via an intricate trail system, including the Sneffels Highline Trail and the Wasatch Trail. The map also captures several legacy locations such as Lone Tree Cem and the Ophir Loop Tram, reflecting the region's deep mining and transportation history before its transition to a resort destination.
