About this map

Silver Cliff and neighboring Westcliffe sit at the center of this high-altitude landscape, illustrating the proximity of these twin municipalities. The terrain transitions from the developed grid of the towns into the prominent Silver Cliff Plateau and the heights of Round Mountain. To the north, the Deweese-Dye Reservoir and Lake DeWeese Lodge mark a hub of water management and recreation, where Grape Creek flows through the valley.

Evidence of historical mining and geographic exploration appears in family-named landmarks and drainages like Chloride Gulch, Bull Domingo Hills, and Titusville Gulch. The map reveals a dense network of local roads such as Wild Bill Blvd and Geronimo Rd that navigate the ridges of the Rosita Hills and Oak Grove Mountain, providing a detailed view of the contemporary settlement patterns in this part of Custer County.
