Description

View of Cripple Creek, Teller County, C.O., 1895 / drawn & published by C. H. Amerine.

This bird’s-eye view print of Cripple Creek, Colorado was drawn by C. H. Amerine and published by Denver Lith. Co., compliments of Cripple Creek Sunday Herald, Souvenir Edition, 1895.

In 1891, a major gold strike was discovered at Cripple Creek, near Victor, by Colorado Springs carpenter Winfield Scott Stratton. The discovery was referred to as the Independence Lode, and by 1895, tiny Cripple Creek, at an elevation of nearly 9,500 feet above sea level, was bursting with the activities of speculators and miners. Many millions of dollars worth of gold were extracted during this era and many mining labor disputes ensued.

The map shows labeled mining interests, buildings and railroad routes. A caption indicates “Cripple Creek Mining District. The great gold camp of Colorado.”
