2019 Map of Idaho Springs

About this map

Idaho Springs serves as the focal point of this mountain landscape, where the legacy of the Colorado Gold Rush is preserved in features like the Argo Mill and the Jackson Monument. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Chicago Cr and Soda Cr, which have historically dictated the routes of transportation and industrial development. Higher elevations are marked by the presence of Goliath Peak and Chief Mountain, with much of the southern portion of the sheet dedicated to the Arapaho National Forest. Small settlements and industrial sites such as Freeland, Lamartine, and the Black Eagle Mill provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of mining communities. The map also detail essential water management and recreation sites, including Echo Lake and the Idaho Springs Reservoir, alongside local landmarks like the Idaho Springs Cem.
