1942 Map of Tungsten

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Tungsten District dominates the mountain landscape of western Boulder County, where mining history meets the early water management infrastructure of the Colorado Front Range. Surveyed in 1942, this document shows the Denver and Salt Lake railroad winding through the steep drainages of South Boulder Creek and Middle Boulder Creek, serving the vital mineral districts and small mountain communities. The map highlights the intersection of industrial extraction and high-altitude ranching, with Bradley Ranch and Giggey Ranch situated near heavy mining operations like the Manchester Mine.
