Stringtown

Built around the mining camps of the upper Arkansas River valley, Stringtown grew into a small Lake County community near Leadville. It lies high in central Colorado, where the Arkansas River’s headwaters region is framed by the Sawatch Range to the west and the Mosquito Range to the east. The surrounding area is closely tied to Leadville’s 19th-century silver-mining era, which left a lasting mark on settlement patterns across the valley. Today, Stringtown belongs to a sparsely settled mountain landscape shaped by roads, forests and former mining ground.
