1963 Map of Stone City

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Stone City stands as the primary settlement in this 1963 survey of the Colorado-Pueblo county line area, where the rugged terrain of Booth Mountain meets the drainage basins of Turkey Creek and Wild Horse Creek. The landscape is a mix of ranching operations and technical outposts, featuring the Turkey Creek Ranch and the Colorado School of Mines Summer Camp situated near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Industrial activity is evidenced by a Quarry and various Mines, connected by an Old Railroad Grade that winds through Booth Gulch. Water management is central to the area's geography, with the Teller Reservoir and the Teller Ditch providing critical infrastructure alongside local landmarks like the homestead of John Palmer. This map illustrates the transition from high-elevation landforms like White Butte to the lower reaches of Pumpkin Hollow and Steel Hollow.
