About this map

Union Highland Cemetery and the industrial remnants of the Canon Imperial Mine anchor the northern landscape of this Fremont County quadrangle. The terrain is defined by a series of south-flowing drainages, most notably Hardscrabble Creek, Mineral Creek, and Cocklebur Creek, which carve through the high ground. Water management is a central theme of this 2010 survey, visible through the Florence City Water Reservoirs and the irrigation network of the Ciperts and Chapson Ditch.

Social and agricultural centers are scattered throughout the rural landscape, from the Mountain View Community Hall to the small settlement of Sikes. The presence of the Rawley Mines on the western edge further emphasizes the region's historical reliance on mineral extraction. Together, these features document a landscape where early twentieth-century mining and modern water infrastructure coexist across the rugged gulches of central Colorado.
