About this map

The high alpine mining history of the Sawatch Range is preserved in this mid-1990s revision, where the Winfield and Vicksburg settlements anchor the drainage of Clear Creek. Situated along the boundary of the San Isabel National Forest and Gunnison National Forest, the landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness. A legacy of extraction remains visible through the Banker Mine and various mines, mine sites, and prospect pits scattered across Middle Mountain and Granite Mountain.

Strategic transportation routes like the Timberline Trail and several 4wd tracks navigate the steep ascent toward the Continental Divide, which separates the eastern and western slopes. Glacial features such as Harrison Flat and high-altitude basins like Silver Basin surround the majestic peaks of The Three Apostles and Huron Peak. The presence of a cemetery near Winfield offers a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing the families who once worked these high-elevation silver and lead claims.
