About this map

Lake City and the mining camps of the northern San Juan Mountains define this 1911 survey, a time when the region's economy relied heavily on high-altitude extraction and rail transport. The Denver and Rio Grande RR follows the Gunnison River and the depths of Black Canyon, connecting remote outposts like Sapinero and Lake Junction to the wider world. To the south, Capitol City sits near the headwaters of Henson Creek, while the Alpine Plateau and Cannibal Plateau overlook a landscape of scattered industry and commerce.
