About this map

Idaho Springs sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where Clear Creek flows along the base of Santa Fe Mountain. The mid-century development of the region is characterized by a series of private retreats and ranches, including Evans Ranch Headquarters, Dodge Ranch Headquarters, and Beaver Brook Lodge. These settlements are linked by the winding Squaw Pass Road, which climbs toward the peaks and passes multiple Denver Mountain Park Sites.

Evidence of the area's extraction history is found near Beaver Brook, where the Star Mine and Silver Spruce Mill appear alongside family holdings like the Elmgreen Ranch and Beaver Brook Ranch. The southern portion of the map transitions into the valley of Bear Creek, home to the small communities of Brookvale and Bendemeer. This survey captures the transition from early mining and ranching into the era of mountain park conservation and recreational lodging.
