About this map

Turret and Whitehorn anchor this high-elevation landscape within the San Isabel National Forest, where the complex borders of Chaffee, Park, and Fremont Counties converge. The area is defined by sharp elevation changes, ranging from the heights of Cameron Mountain and Green Mountain to the deep incisions of Railroad Gulch and Stafford Gulch. The settlement pattern reflects a history of specialized land use, notably the Oklahoma State University Engineering Camp and the scattered Fires Ranch.

Water sources are vital markers in this terrain, including Manoa Springs, School Section Spring, and Hollenbeck Spring. The extractive history of the region is grounded by the Gold Bug Mine near Jasper Ave in Turret. Prominent landmarks like Graphite Ridge and Bull Hill overlook a network of forest roads and historic routes such as the Ute Trl, illustrating the intersection of mining, recreation, and high-altitude ranching.
