1951 Map of Big Bull Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Goldfield and its surrounding Mining Area dominate the northwestern high country of this 1950s survey, representing the industrial legacy of the Cripple Creek mining district. The terrain is marked by a complex network of utility infrastructure, including a Pipe Line and Telephone Line that traverse the ridges toward the Skagway Reservoir. To the south, the landscape drops precipitously into the dramatic depths of Phantom Canyon, where the East Beaver Cr flows past a remote Power Plant and unidentified Ruins near the base of Nipple Mountain. This map captures the transition from the active mining heights to the isolated ranching and utility corridors of the Pike National Forest. Travel through the area is defined by historical routes like the Old Stage Road, which snakes through the granite formations of Cathedral Park toward the small settlement of Clyde.
