Caption: Detail from the Bird’s-eye view of Black Hawk Marker
Additional Description: [Caption above the lithograph:] The City of Black Hawk is located in a particularly metal-rich zone known as the mineral belt. The 50-mile wide belt extends southwest from Boulder through the Rockies to the San Juan Mountains in the southwest corner of the state. In Gilpin County, rich oxidized quartz veins within this belt also tend northeast-southwest, about six miles long and three miles wide between the two forks of Clear Creek.
