About this map

Rio Grande National Forest encompasses a landscape defined by an intensive history of hard-rock mining and drainage systems. This 1980s record reveals a complex network of claims and extractors clustered around landmarks like Whale Hill and Mount Manitou. The concentration of mining activity is particularly dense along Rawley Gulch and Michigan Gulch, where operations such as the Rainbow Mine and Manitou Sunlight Mine once sought mineral wealth.
