1951 Map of Cripple Creek North

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Cripple Creek anchors the southern boundary of this high-elevation terrain, showing the northern outskirts of the gold mining district as it appeared in the mid-20th century. The landscape is dominated by volcanic and metamorphic peaks including Rhyolite Mountain, Copper Mountain, and Red Mountain, which defined the local topography during the area's transition into a protected wilderness. North of the settlement, the Mollie Kathleen Mine stands as a significant landmark of the district's industrial heritage, while the County Hospital serves as a reminder of the municipal infrastructure supporting the mining population. Conservation efforts are evident in the northern sections, where the Dome Rock State Park and Dome Rock State Wildlife Area preserve the area surrounding Fourmile Creek. The map also traces essential drainage networks like Poverty Gulch and Buchannon Gulch, which were critical to both early prospecting and the regional water supply.
