Earlier lists for this page carried dozens of 19th-century mining-camp names — Galena,
\nWhitehorn, Sikes, Sample and others — that no longer appear on any current Census Bureau or
\nUSPS record and are not carried forward here. One is worth flagging directly: Buckskin Joe was not
\na settlement but a Western movie set and tourist attraction 8 miles west of Ca\u00f1on City, built in
\n1957 and used in more than 21 films before closing in 2010; its buildings were later moved to a
\nprivate ranch near Gunnison. A separate, unrelated 19th-century mining camp of the same name sits
\nin neighboring Park County.<\/p>\n
