Yes, I do not understand the complete date myself.
Located line is not constructed line.

Of interest I saw what is referred to as "abandoned line" from Frisco to what became known as Dickey.
Apparently there was a previous survey from Frisco to Breckenridge and now, this map shows the "new" located line
from Frisco over the ridge to Dickey and from there a wye, with one line to Breckenridge and the other to Dillon.  
North of Breckenridge the survey seems to parallel a DSP&P surveyed line.

The D&RG did do some grade work going south from Dillon toward Breckenridge, but was not completed.

It seems most of these lines are what eventually became the DSP&P constructed lines, or very close.
