About this map

Cannibal Plateau and Calf Creek Plateau dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Gunnison National Forest. The topography is defined by dramatic geologic shifts, most notably the Slumgullion Earthflow and Slumgullion Slide in the southwest corner. These features represent significant mass wasting events that have shaped the local drainage patterns of Mill Cr and Cebolla Cr.

Remote recreational sites like Hidden Valley Campground and Deer Lakes Campground sit near the various forks of Powderhorn Cr, while deep incisions like Devils Canyon and Cañon Infierno provide stark relief against the plateaus. This 2013 survey preserves the modern configuration of Forest Service routes and trail access points, including 788 and 778, which navigate the steep elevations between Mesa Seco and Gardner Ridge.
