2011 Map of Cuprum

About this map

Cuprum and Landore anchor this high-elevation landscape in Adams County, defined by the drainage networks of Indian Creek and Bear Creek. The map documents the remote access points and infrastructure of the Seven Devils region, including the Seven Devils Airport and the Seven Devils Ranch Landing Strip near the settlement of Bear. The presence of several named gulches, such as Negro Bill Gulch and Negro Jim Gulch, alongside landmarks like Lynes Saddle and Horse Mountain, reflects a history of local land naming tied to the area's difficult topography. A network of Forest Service and local roads, including Council Cuprum Rd and Landore Rd, provides the primary transit through these mountain drainages, connecting the small settlements with sites like Bear Campground and the numerous creek basins that once drove the region's early prospecting and ranching interest.
