About this map

Chester sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape where three major national forests converge. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail serves as the primary spine for travel, winding through the Gunnison National Forest, Rio Grande National Forest, and San Isabel National Forest. This 2016 survey captures a network of specialized routes such as the Milk Creek Trail, Tank Seven Creek Trail, and Middle Creek Trail that navigate the varied terrain of the Cochetopa Hills and Monarch Ridge.

The hydrography is defined by numerous high-altitude drainages, including Tank Seven Creek and the multiple forks of Middle Creek. Notable summits like Windy Peak and Headwaters Hill overlook expansive areas such as Sawmill Park and Cameron Park. Further south, the map details the descent into Spring Gulch and Horse Canyon, illustrating the transition from forested peaks to the headwaters of several regional creeks.
