1999 Map of Winston
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
The mining legacies of the Black Range define this landscape, where the settlements of Winston and Chloride sit at the confluence of rugged canyons and high desert ridges. This 1999 revision of the Gila National Forest area documents an intense history of extraction, featuring dozens of named sites like the St Cloud Mines, Midnight Mine, and the U S Treasury Mine. Evidence of early territorial-era habitation remains through landmarks like Midnight Cabin and the Santo Niño Cemetery. The complex hydrology of the region is traced through the Cuchillo Negro Creek and Chloride Creek, which cut through terrain punctuated by peaks such as Hagins Peak and Way-Up Mountain. Ranching and mineral survey markers, including Monument 17 and Monument 18, provide specific points of reference for genealogists and surveyors tracking historical land claims in Sierra County.
