2001 Map of Cement Mountain

About this map

Gunnison National Forest dominates this landscape, where the high country of the Colorado Rockies is defined by deep drainage basins and prominent peaks. The map centers on the winding course of Cement Creek, which flows past the Cement Summer Home Group and the Hot Spring at its base. Elevation changes are extreme, rising from the East River valley floor to the high summits of Cement Mountain and East Cement Mountain. The spatial arrangement of gulches and basins, such as Walrod Gulch and Horse Basin, reveals a complex topography managed for both recreation and timber. Named landmarks like Point Lookout and Strand Hill provide orientation points for this remote mountain terrain during the early 2000s.
