2022 Map of Almont

About this map

The confluence of the Taylor River and East River anchors the settlement of Almont, where these waters merge to form the headwaters of the Gunnison River. This high-altitude drainage basin in the Sawatch Range is defined by a complex network of water management and mountain transit, featuring the Gunnison Highline Canal and the E River Number 2 Ditch alongside historic routes like Jacks Cabin Cutoff. The landscape transitions from the open river valley to the steep timber of the Gunnison National Forest, marked by numerous drainage features such as Rarick Gulch and Fisher Gulch. Genealogy researchers will find the Jacks Cabin Cem located north of the main settlement near Alkali Cr, while recreation history is evidenced by established paths like the Doctor Park Trl and Pine Creek Trl winding through Taylor Canyon.
