About this map

Almont serves as the focal point of this Rocky Mountain landscape, situated at the significant confluence where the East River and Taylor River join to form the Gunnison River. The map details a region defined by its water resources and outdoor management, from the Roaring Judy State Wildlife Area and its associated Fish Hatchery to the vast reaches of the Gunnison National Forest.

Land use patterns are clearly visible through the placement of the Rippers Work Center and various extraction sites like the Gravel Pit near the riverbanks. Higher elevations are marked by rugged terrain features such as Fossil Ridge and the steep walls of Taylor Canyon. For those tracing local history, the settlement at Jacks Cabin and the nearby Cem provide specific points of interest along the established travel corridors, including the Jacks Cabin Cutoff.
