1994 Map of Tincup

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

The mining-era settlement of Tincup sits at the southern edge of this Colorado high country, surrounded by a landscape defined by its extractive history and alpine watersheds. The geography is dominated by the Continental Divide, which separates the Gunnison National Forest to the west from the San Isabel National Forest to the east. Extensive Dredge Tailings along Willow Creek and numerous unlabeled Mines and Prospects near Kentucky Gulch illustrate the heavy industrial footprint of the Tincup Mining District. High-altitude travel is traced through Cottonwood Pass and the long-distance Timberline Trail, which winds through the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness. The map reveals a transition from industrial exploitation to a preserved wilderness landscape, where prominent peaks like Mount Kreutzer and Ptarmigan Mountain tower over glacial basins such as Sanford Basin and Garden Basin.
