1901 Map of Pikes Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Cripple Creek and Victor anchor this turn-of-the-century look at one of the world's most productive gold mining districts. The landscape is a dense network of mining camps and support towns, including Anaconda, Elkton, Independence, and Goldfield, all linked by complex mountain rail lines like the Colorado Midland Railroad and the P. P. C. C. R. R.. Beyond the industrial intensity of the mines, the map transitions into the varied terrain of the Pike National Forest, where the famous summit of Pikes Peak rises above Glen Cove and Sentinel Point. To the west, the ancient geology of the Fossil Beds near Florissant sits in contrast to the rapid development of the era's gold rush. The map also captures several isolated mountain parks, such as Wilson Park and Garden Park, which provided crucial grazing and transit routes for the region's early settlers and prospectors.
