1955 Map of Telluride
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
The high alpine mining basins of the San Juan Mountains dominate this mid-century survey, centered on the historic district of Telluride. At this time, the industrial legacy of the Silver San Juan is visible in the dense network of claims and infrastructure, including the Smuggler Mine, Liberty Bell Mine, and the Tomboy ruins. The map traces the winding route of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad as it follows the San Miguel River through narrow canyons and up to high-elevation junctions like Vance Junction.
