File:Climax Colorado Shaded-relief Perspective 3.jpg
Caption: Climax, Colorado, in Lake County, Colorado, straddles the Continental Divide at Frémont Pass. The mine here is closed awaiting more favorable markets for its molybdenum ore. The owner of the mine, meanwhile, spends millions of dollars each year mitigating the environmental effects of past decades of large-scale mining at the headwaters of four separate rivers.
Scale: The scale in this perspective view is variable. The numbered squares formed by the thin red lines are standard survey sections nominally of one square mile..
