About this map

Rosita Hills dominate this portion of Custer County, revealing a landscape defined by its mining heritage. The settlement of Rosita and the nearby Rosita Cemetery sit at the center of a network of historic claims and operations, including the Rosita Mine, Mount Robinson Mine, and the Democrat Mine. Further north, the community of Querida borders Dutch Flat, while the eastern terrain transitions into the high reaches of Arkansas Mountain and Junkins Park.

Transport and infrastructure are represented by Silver West Airport in the southwest and a series of winding tracks such as County Hwy-330 and Antelope Rd. Water drainage patterns are clearly marked by Antelope Creek, Lapin Creek, and several named gulches, including Poverty Gulch and Wilmer Gulch. These features reflect the complex geography of a region shaped by both its natural geology and the pursuit of mineral wealth.
