2011 Map of Big Bull Mountain

About this map

Goldfield sits on the western edge of this Colorado high-country landscape, where the legacy of early mining is etched into the terrain through sites like Victor Mine, Homestake Mine, and Brown Mine. The 2011 survey reveals a complex network of mountain roads including Gold Camp Rd and Skagway Rd, which navigate the steep drainage systems of West Beaver Creek and Eightmile Creek. Water management infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Skagway Reservoir and its associated Skagway Dam, alongside Pringtime Reservoir further north. These reservoirs contrast with the narrow, winding descent of Phantom Canyon in the southwest. The presence of Clyde and the Clyde Campground near Bison Creek suggests a transition from the area's industrial mining roots toward a landscape defined by forest recreation and watershed conservation.
