About this map

Whitehorn and Turret sit as high-elevation nodes in this landscape where Chaffee, Park, and Fremont counties meet. The terrain is defined by dramatic changes in elevation, rising from the drainage of Cottonwood Cr to prominent peaks like Calumet Mtn and Cameron Mtn. Evidence of the area's resource-driven history is visible in names like Marble Quarry Gulch, Graphite Ridge, and the mining site known as The Mascot. These labels suggest a period of mineral exploration that shaped the early development of these mountain communities.

Water sources are critical markers across the San Isabel National Forest, including Manoa Springs and School Section Spring. The map traces a complex network of gulches—such as Futurity Gulch, Cow Gulch, and Cat Gulch—that dictate the movement of both modern forest roads and historical pack trails. This survey provides a modern topographical view of a region that transitioned from a mining frontier to a protected natural forest.
