1901 Map of Pikes Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

The gold mining boom is in full swing across the southern slopes of Pikes Peak, where a dense network of mountain towns grew rapidly around the ore deposits. The intense industrial activity of the district is evident in the clustered settlements of Cripple Creek, Victor, Goldfield, and Altman, all interconnected by the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad and the Midland Terminal Railroad. These rail lines were the lifeblood of the high-altitude camps, navigating steep terrain to move ore and supplies. Beyond the mines, the landscape transitions into the preserved natural history of the Fossil Beds near Florissant and the high timber of the Pike National Forest. This survey captures the region when mining was the primary driver of the local economy, long before the consolidation of these many distinct camps into modern municipalities.
