About this map

Gold mining operations and high-altitude settlements dominate this southern portion of the Cripple Creek district during the early 1950s. The landscape is a dense network of industrial history, featuring extensive tailings piles and legendary workings like the Stratton Independence Mine, Portland Mine, and Golden Cycle Mine. Large-scale subterranean engineering is evident through the Roosevelt Tunnel and Carlton Tunnel, which were vital for draining the deep shafts of the district.
