LocalitiesLeadville Mining District, Lake County, Colorado, USA

Is this a duplicate of the Leadville Mining District page, or is this something different? I'm assuming a duplicate because there's no description to say otherwise.

Will be merged unless someone objects!

Yes, please merge the Leadville District pages.

Since you're working on Lake County, please delete the Alma Mining District and Alma pages from here, they're both in Park County, Colorado.

To add to this thread, the page for the Sherman Mine (https://www.mindat.org/loc-5991.html) could use some edits.

The picture on the far left of this locality page actually shows structures and equipment at the Continental Chief Mine, which is a separate locality further up the valley to the north (https://www.mindat.org/loc-46640.html). Compare the first two pictures on that locality page to this one on the Sherman Mine page and it will be seen that the roofed structure is identical in all three. This photo should therefore be swapped out for an actual picture of the Sherman Mine area (which admittedly has few remaining structures associated with it following reclamation and re-contouring).

The picture on the far right of the Sherman Mine locality page shows the trail heading out of the head of Iowa Amphitheater, and notes that it is going up to the Hilltop Mine, which is true, except that the Hilltop Mine (https://www.mindat.org/loc-46519.html) is located over the ridge crest and in Horseshoe Basin, and as such is in a different county (Park) a different river drainage (the Platte versus the Arkansas), and a different mining district (the Horseshoe Basin District). As such, the Hilltop Mine has little to do with the Sherman Mine per se, or with the Leadville mining district, so once again perhaps a more appropriate photo could be selected here.

Something happened to the localities within this district. Only those alphabetically up to the town of Leadville made it to the new page, and even so many within the alphabetic range are missing.

I believe Nathalie was working on Leadville a while back. I'll ask later today if she still is....

No, I wasn't working on Leadville. I was trying to clean up the mess around Silver Plume and Georgetown.
