2010 Map of Cripple Creek South

About this map

Cripple Creek and the surrounding high-altitude mining districts are documented here in a landscape defined by nearly a century of industrial activity. The dense concentration of extraction sites in the northern and eastern portions of the sheet, including the Vindicator Mine, Elkton Mine, and Cresson Mine, illustrates the intensity of the region's legendary gold-mining history. Between the organized streets of Victor and the smaller settlements of Hollywood and Goldfield, the terrain is heavily marked by shafts and tunnels, such as the Roosevelt Tunnel, which once supported these deep-earth operations.
