1982 Map of Winfield

About this map

Winfield and Vicksburg occupy the narrow valley floor of Clear Creek, serving as primary nodes of human activity in this high-altitude landscape. Published in the early 1980s, the map details a region defined by the Continental Divide, where the boundary between San Isabel National Forest and Gunnison National Forest follows the jagged ridgeline. The area’s extractive history is evident through numerous prospects and the Banker Mine, while the transition from mining to recreation is reflected in the network of pack trails and jeep tracks leading to alpine features like The Three Apostles and Huron Peak. Significant water bodies such as Clohesy Lake and Lake Ann are tucked into the steep basins below the Divide. This record shows the enduring footprint of historic settlements like Rockdale and Hamilton amidst the massive peaks of the Sawatch Range.
