2019 Map of Almont

About this map

The confluence of the East River and the Taylor River forms the beginning of the Gunnison River at the settlement of Almont. This hydrologic junction is the central focus of the landscape, where water management features like the E River Number 1 Ditch and the Gunnison Highline Canal indicate the area's historical reliance on irrigation. Within the boundaries of the Gunnison National Forest, the terrain is defined by deep drainages such as Taylor Canyon, Cougar Canyon, and several named gulches including Tepee Gulch and Lost Canyon Gulch. Local history and genealogy interests are represented by the Jacks Cabin Cem, located near the northern edge of the map. Significant landmarks such as Harmels Point and Doctor Park overlook the river valleys, while local transport is traced through routes like the Jacks Cabin Cutoff and Roaring Judy Rd.
