About this map

Black Hawk and the surrounding high-altitude terrain define this 2013 survey, showing a landscape shaped by historical mining and modern recreation. The transition from the steep drainages of Gregory Gulch and Chase Gulch to the peaks of Black Hawk Mountain and Tremont Mountain reflects the area's gold-rush heritage. While the town center remains a focal point, the map detail extends to the northern residential clusters around Dory Lake and Braecher Ranch Reservoir, alongside the small Athanasiou Valley Airport.

Preservation and public land access are evident through the Arapaho National Forest and Roosevelt NF boundaries. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Dory Hill Cem and the naming of numerous family and industry-related sites such as Russell Gulch, Smith Hill, and Bates Gulch. This edition documents the complex road network, including State Hwy 119 and the Central City Pkwy, which connect these mountain settlements.
