USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Telluride mining district is captured here during the mid-1950s, a period when the infrastructure of the great silver and gold boom remained etched into the San Miguel Mountains. The network of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad winds through the canyons, connecting the town to industrial outposts like Pandora and Vance Junction. The high-altitude landscape is dotted with legacies of the Victorian mining era, including the Liberty Bell Mine and the high-elevation Tomboy ruins.
