1951 Map of Cripple Creek South

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The gold-mining district of the southern Front Range is captured here during the early 1950s, detailing a landscape dominated by industrial extractivism. Mining operations like the Cresson Mine, Portland Mine, and Golden Cycle Mine define the hillsides between the major centers of Cripple Creek and Victor. The map reveals the dense clustering of mining-era settlements, from the high elevation of Altman to the residential areas of Goldfield and Elkton. Infrastructure for moving ore and water is prominent, featuring the Carlton Tunnel and Roosevelt Tunnel cutting beneath the terrain.
