About this map

The steep gulches and high ridges of the Roosevelt National Forest define this area of Boulder County, where mining history is etched into the landscape. Small, high-altitude settlements like Gold Hill, Salina, and Wallstreet are connected by a network of winding roads, including the Switzerland Trl and Lefthand Canyon Drive. The map documents a blend of early industrial footprints and modern recreational use, showing the locations of the Gold Hill Cem and Salina Cem alongside seasonal destinations like the Tahosa Boy Scout Camp and Ogallalia Lodge.

Water flows through the terrain via South Saint Vrain Creek and Fourmile Creek, while the eastern portion of the map transitions into the steep drainage of James Creek near Jamestown. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the interface between public forest lands and established mountain communities, marking landmarks such as Walker Mountain and Bighorn Mountain that continue to shape the character of the region.
