1954 Map of Rosita

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Rosita Hills Mining District defines the northern reaches of this Custer County landscape, where volcanic pipes of agglomerate and tertiary andesite flows once drove a search for silver, gold, copper, and lead. The settlement of Rosita sits at the foot of Pennsylvania Hill, accompanied by the Rosita Cem and the nearby mining camp of Querida below Robinson Plateau. This area reflects the transition from intensive mining operations to a ranching and forestry economy by the mid-1950s.
