About this map

Winfield and Vicksburg anchor the high alpine valleys of the Sawatch Range on this 1982 map, marking a landscape defined by its mining heritage and high-altitude geography. The rugged corridor along Clear Creek serves as a gateway to the Continental Divide, where the prominent peaks of Huron Peak and The Three Apostles overlook the San Isabel National Forest.

A network of historical trails and industrial markers provides a glimpse into the region's extraction history, from the Banker Mine to several unnamed mines tucked into the slopes of Missouri Mountain and Silver Basin. Small settlements like Rockdale and Hamilton appear alongside critical high-country markers such as a local Cem (cemetery), illustrating the permanence of these remote outposts even in the face of challenging terrain and the divide between Chaffee and Gunnison counties.
