About this map

The city of Salida serves as the gateway to this canyon-rich landscape where the Arkansas River carves a path through high-altitude terrain. Along the river's southern bank, the settlement of Cleora sits near the Cleora Cemetery, reflecting the area's early rail and transport history. The surrounding mountains are marked by a significant mining legacy, with operations like the Stockton Mine, Homestake Mine, and the Rock King Lode Mine appearing in the northern gulches.

Evidence of the region's complex geology is seen in features like The Crater and Big Baldy Mountain, while the network of county roads, such as County RD-175, provides access to the steep drainage of Ute Creek. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the location of Woodlawn Cemetery and numerous family-named landmarks like Loggie Gulch and Jack Rabbit Hill, highlighting the intersection of industrial extraction and high mountain settlement.
