As part of a larger reclamation project for the United State Forest Service, Sopris Engineering located, monumented and platted five abandoned and/or inactive mine sites within the Ouray Ranger Districts of the Grand Mesa, Uncompaghre and Gunnison National Forest. The scope of work included re-tracing historic surveys and notes from the late 1800s and early 1900s, locating mining structures and evidence still in place, and using that evidence to re-set mining claim corners. Field crews hiked in a remote area near Ouray, Colorado, from a jeep road off the "million dollar highway," searching for evidence of specific mining activity along the banks of Red Mountain Creek, and up the steep, talus slopes, high above timberline on Red Mountain.
