2016 Map of Arkansas Mountain

About this map

Arkansas Mountain and the high ridges of the Sangre de Cristo foothills dominate this portion of Fremont County. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of gulches and peaks, including Garell Peak, Falls Gulch Mtn, and the distinctive Cedar Springs Mtn. The southern edge of the map reveals the dramatic geography of the Arkansas River Canyon, where the Arkansas River cuts through the landscape. While largely uninhabited by major settlements, the presence of Mine Gulch and numerous roads such as Spruce Mountain Rd and Co Rd 12 suggest a history of resource extraction and mountain access. Smaller topographic details like Chauncy Hayden Gulch and Henthorn Gulch provide specific landmarks for those tracing local family names or land use patterns in this high-elevation region.
