1950 Map of Clancy

About this map

Prickly Pear Creek flows through a landscape defined by its mining heritage and rugged terrain, where the Great Northern railroad services the early settlements of Clancy and Alhambra. The map reveals a dense concentration of mineral claims in the southern mountains, particularly surrounding the town of Elkhorn, which sits at the base of Elkhorn Peak. Notable operations like the Golden Age Mine, Calahan Mine, and the Big Tizer Mine are mapped alongside numerous other inactive sites, illustrating the transition from peak extraction years.
