The Hidden Treasure Mine (1897-1922) was a gold, silver, lead, and copper mine located in Hinsdale county, Colorado at an elevation of 10,200 feet.
Blue-line artifacts on architectural vellum. Architectural vellum was used in the early 20th century for important plans because of its dimensional stability and wear resistance.
Dated within to 12/20/16. Drawn by D.H. Foreman, Denver, Colorado.
The old Hidden Treasure Dam on Henson Creek, built in the 1890's, made the news in late May, 2019. It was announced that the dam was to be demolished because of the concern for flash floods associated with the potential for sudden heavy snowmelt.

More than 100 years old, the Hard Tack Mine was built as an underground transport tunnel for the Hidden Treasure Mining Company's ore production a quarter mile up the mountain. The Hardtack Mine now offers tours and houses a museum designed to preserve area mining history.
