1892 Map of Canon City

About this map

Silver Cliff and the surrounding mining districts of the Wet Mountain Valley define this landscape during the late nineteenth-century silver boom. While Canyon City serves as a northern hub along the Arkansas River, the southern reaches of the map highlight high-elevation mining settlements like Querida and Rosita. These towns were vital during the era's mineral rush, supported by significant operations such as the Bassick Mine and Bull Domingo Mine.
