About this map

Gunnison National Forest land dominates this high-altitude landscape in Saguache County, where the terrain alternates between steep gulches and expansive mountain parks. In the northern reaches, Sanderson Park and the high drainage of Simmons Gulch flow toward the lower elevations. The map reveals an intricate system of water management critical to this high-country environment, featuring long-established irrigation works such as the Tarbell and Alexander Ditch and the Smith Ford Ditch.

The central portion of the sheet is anchored by McDonough Reservoir Number 2, which sits at the head of local water distributions. Geographic landmarks like Cold Spring Park and Burro Park suggest the traditional summer grazing lands common to this region. Transport is facilitated by secondary roads like Co RD kk14 and Soro Park Spur B, which provide access to the numerous springs, including Simmons Spring and Cold Spring, that dot the mountain slopes.
