About this map

The Arkansas River carves through the dramatic Royal Gorge and Grand Canyon of the Arkansas at the northern edge of this late nineteenth-century landscape. To the south, the Wet Mountain Valley serves as a hub for both agriculture and industry, anchored by the significant mining and ranching settlements of Silver Cliff and Westcliffe. The presence of the Bull Domingo Mine and Bassick Mine reflects the intense silver and gold prospecting that shaped Custer County during this era.
