Capitol City and the surrounding high-altitude mining claims define this survey of the San Juan Mountains, originally field checked in 1963. The landscape is dominated by the massive profile of Uncompahgre Peak and the sharp spire of Matterhorn Peak, situated within the Uncompahgre National Forest. Along the southern edge, the industrial history of the region is evident in the cluster of mines near Henson Creek, including the Pride of America Mine and the Czarnina Mine.
