About this map

Klondike Mine sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape in Saguache County, where the legacy of Colorado mineral exploration is etched into the rugged terrain. The small settlements of Bonita and Spook City appear alongside Woodard Cow Camp, illustrating a mix of early mining camps and ranching outposts. Water is a critical element in this environment, with numerous named sources such as Findley Spring, Bachichi Spring, and Alkali Spring dotting the drainages.

The geography is defined by a complex network of gulches, including Lucky Boy Gulch, Findley Gulch, and Tub Gulch, which feed into larger watercourses like Ford Creek and Little Kerber Creek. Local transit is marked by routes such as Co RD 39ee and the distinctively named Poison Day Loop, which winds through the western portion of the map. Rising above these features, Sheep Mountain and Bonita Hill provide significant landmarks for understanding the physical orientation of the district.
