2016 Map of Big Bull Mountain

About this map

Goldfield occupies a high-elevation plateau in the northwest corner of this Colorado landscape, marking a legacy of mountain settlement at the edge of the Pike National Forest. The terrain is defined by a series of significant peaks and drainages, including Big Bull Mountain and Brind Mtn, which tower over the deep winding recesses of Phantom Canyon. Water management is central to the area's geography, with the Pringtime Reservoir and Skaguay Reservoir capturing the flow of W Beaver Cr and its tributaries. The map traces the historical path of the Gold Camp Rd and various forest routes like Co RD 861, which navigate the complex topography of Douglas Gulch and Hopkins Gulch. This survey captures the transition from Teller County into Fremont County, illustrating the remote infrastructure of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
