About this map

The Grand Canyon of the Arkansas defines the northern reaches of this territory, where the Arkansas River carves through the Royal Gorge near Canon City. This landscape reveals a late 19th-century industrial hub driven by the dual engines of mining and heavy rail. In the south, the Wet Mountain Valley serves as a high-altitude basin for the silver mining settlements of Silver Cliff and Westcliffe.
