About this map

The settlement of Glentivar serves as the focal point for this survey of the high-altitude landscape of Park County. Situated among the Puma Hills, this region is defined by a dense concentration of mining claims and named geologic features. The network of drainage gulches, including Rishaberger Gulch, Martland Gulch, and Chase Gulch, dictates the placement of early travel routes and modern thoroughfares like Mineral Springs Rd and County Hwy-447.

Significant mineral extraction sites are documented throughout the hills, ranging from the uniquely named Christie-Ward-Lucky Thirteen Number One Mine to the Blue-green Lode Number One Mine and the Roger Publishing Company Mine. Transportation across the high terrain is facilitated by Wilkerson Pass and La Salle Pass, providing access to the more remote peaks like Martland Peak and Schoolmarm Mountain. These features, alongside Burns Park and the Pipe Springs Campground, illustrate a landscape shifting between industrial extraction and recreational use.
