Gilpin County's Central City and Black Hawk were Colorado's original gold rush towns during the 1859 Pike's Peak boom, producing primarily hard-rock lode gold from the Front Range mineralized corridor. The South Platte River system drains auriferous country; small-scale placer operations continue in accessible reaches. Renewed interest in deep hypogene gold-silver systems has driven recent staking near historic lode mines. The BLM Grand Junction Field Office administers surface; county recorder in Central City handles claim filing.
