1951 Map of Cripple Creek North

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The gold mining heritage of the Rocky Mountains is etched into the landscape north of Cripple Creek in the early 1950s. While the northern reaches are dominated by the Pike National Forest and high peaks like Rhyolite Mountain, the southern edge of the map reveals the industrial and civic infrastructure of a famous district. The Mollie Kathleen Mine stands near the head of Poverty Gulch, representing the deep-shaft mining that defined this region's economy. Closer to the settlement of Cripple Creek, public landmarks such as the County Hospital and Mt Pisgah Cem appear alongside the early recreational development at the Tenderfoot Ski Area. The topography is a maze of drainages like Fourmile Creek and Oil Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that prospectors once followed up into the gulches.
