About this map

Cripple Creek and the surrounding mining district slopes are captured here in high detail, illustrating a landscape defined by its complex geology and historical extraction routes. The northern reaches are dominated by the Pike National Forest, where features like Dome Rock and the high ridges of Ranger Ridge overlook a network of specialized trails including 4 Mile Overlook Trl and Hammer Homestead Trl. This area is a patchwork of steep drainages and gulches, with Barnard Cr and Fourmile Cr carving through the terrain.

Industrial and natural history converge at the southern edge of the quadrangle. Significant peaks such as Mineral Hill, Carbonate Hill, and Rhyolite Mtn surround the northern outskirts of the settlement, while the deep cut of Poverty Gulch descends toward the town. Genealogists and local historians can trace the relationship between the built environment of Midland and the rugged topography, marked by numerous named landmarks like Mt Pisgah and Hoosier Pass.
