Why this spot
1898-1905 Encampment copper district town
Town at the summit of Battle Pass on the wagon road between the Ferris-Haggarty copper mine and Encampment, with a post office from 1898 to 1905. A 16-mile aerial tramway finished in 1902 bypassed it, and it was a ghost town by 1905.View source →
