About this map

The Continental Divide’s high-altitude mining heritage is preserved in this survey, which documents the rugged terrain around the historic Tincup area. Concentrated mining activity is evident near Gold Hill, where the New Gold Cup Mine, Gold Cup Republic Mine, and Old Gold Cup Mine sit north of Bone Basin. This mining landscape extends across the peaks, featuring sites like the Blistered Horn Mill and the Cumberland Mine near the crossing of Cumberland Pass.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early burial sites at Tincup Cemetery and the storied Boothill Cemetery. The map captures a transition toward recreation with the inclusion of Mirror Lake Campground and Quartz Campground. The network of forestry routes, including Co RD 765, provides access to these high basins, while prominent peaks like Napoleon Mountain, Fitzpatrick Peak, and Emma Burr Mountain define the drainage patterns for West Willow Creek and North Fork Chalk Creek.
