About this map

Cement Mountain and its surrounding peaks define the high-altitude drainage basins of Gunnison County, where recreation and resource extraction overlap. This landscape is marked by historical mining activity, notably at the Maggie Mine and the Rosebud Group Mine, alongside the Cement Creek Quarry. The presence of geothermal features like Cement Creek Hot Spring and Ranger Hot Spring suggests a complex geological environment that has long drawn interest.

Infrastructure in this area is geared toward both forest management and seasonal residence. The Cement Summer Home Group and the Cement Creek Forest Service Facility serve as local hubs, while numerous recreational sites like Grasshopper Park Campground and Spring Creek Campground are connected by forest roads such as Co RD 740. Water management is visible in the valley below, where the East River Number 1 Ditch diverts flow from the East River for agricultural or local use.
