2019 Map of Rosita

About this map

Silver Cliff and the high-elevation mining district of Rosita occupy this stretch of Custer County, situated where the Wet Mountain Valley meets the rising slopes of the San Isabel National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex topography of volcanic peaks and mineral-bearing ridges, including Democrat Hill, Pocahontas Hill, and Bold Mtn. Named gulches such as Aldrich Gulch and Leavenworth Gulch carve through the Rosita Hills, hinting at the historical prospecting that once dominated this terrain. Toward the north, Querida sits near Dutch Flat, while the eastern portion of the map transitions into the high meadows of Junkins Park. This modern survey traces the contemporary road network, including the Silver West Airport and numerous local routes like Co RD 328, which wind through the varied elevations of the DeWeese Plateau and the Wet Mountains.
