1991 Map of Miners Delight

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Miners Delight and the surrounding terrain of the Shoshone National Forest define this 1991 revision of a classic mining district. The landscape is heavily marked by gold mining history, with numerous operations including the Garfield Mine, Caribou Mine, and Gold Dollar Mine situated among the gulches and ridges. Significant industrial activity is represented by the Columbia-Geneva Mines, while the presence of the Miners Delight historical site and a nearby Cemetery provides a focal point for genealogical research. The high country terrain ranges from Limestone Mountain to Roundtop Mountain, intersected by a network of drainage systems like Beaver Creek and Yankee Gulch. Evidence of early military and ranching history is preserved through labels for Fort Stambaugh and the Beaver Creek Counting Pens, showing a multifaceted history of resource extraction and frontier settlement.
