1954 Map of Rosita

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Rosita Hills dominate this high-altitude landscape in Custer County, where the historic mining district surrounding Rosita and Querida is documented as it appeared in the mid-1950s. This survey, updated with late 1970s data, illustrates the transition from traditional prospecting to modern industrial activity, evidenced by the Perlite Quarry and other smaller Quarry sites along Aldrich Hill. The settlement pattern centers on the western slopes, where the Rosita Cem and established family holdings like Hobby Ranch and Smith Ranch dot the valleys between prominent peaks. Topographic detail captures the complex drainage systems of the area, including Antelope Creek, Lapin Creek, and Sheep Creek. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the San Isabel National Forest, showcasing the high-country terrain of Arkansas Mountain and the expansive Junkins Park.
