1951 Map of Cripple Creek North

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Cripple Creek sits at the southern edge of this study, revealing a landscape defined by the legacies of one of the world's most productive gold mining districts. The terrain is marked by prominent peaks and mining landmarks, including the Mollie Kathleen Mine and Mineral Hill. Revisions made in the mid-1970s illustrate the evolution of the area, notably the inclusion of the Tenderfoot Ski Area northeast of town and the County Hospital. Further north, the settlement of Midland appears near the confluence of Fourmile Creek and Oil Creek, surrounded by the rugged eastern slopes of the Pike National Forest. The geography is characterized by deep drainage basins like Long Hungry Gulch and Poverty Gulch, which cut through the high volcanic peaks of Rhyolite Mountain and Copper Mountain. This map documents the transition of a classic mining region as it integrated recreation and modern infrastructure into its traditional industrial setting.
