About this map

Cripple Creek and its historic mining district are extensively detailed here, showing the dense network of settlements and industrial infrastructure that defined this high-altitude region. The landscape is a complex map of named peaks and industrial remnants, including Roosevelt Tunnel and Carlton Tunnel, which were critical for draining the deep gold mines of the district. Significant residential centers like Victor, Goldfield, and Elkton are situated among prominent terrain features such as Squaw Mountain and Beacon Hill.

Southward, the terrain transitions into deep drainage systems like Helena Canyon and the rugged path of Fourmile Cr. Historical researchers can trace the movement of early populations through the placement of Mt Pisgah Cem and smaller outlying locales like Marigold. The intersection of Teller and Fremont counties marks the southern reaches of this survey, where the elevation falls toward Mitre Peak and the winding route of Phantom Canyon Rd.
