About this map

Blackhawk and the surrounding Front Range canyons are documented here during a period of intense mining and early mountain ranching. The landscape is defined by the steep drainages of North Boulder Creek and South Boulder Creek, where water rights are managed through infrastructure like the Coal Creek Community Ditch. High-altitude agriculture and livestock operations are evident in the numerous named properties such as Skate Ranch, Winiger Ranch, and the Benson Ranch.
