About this map

Fossil Ridge dominates the southern landscape of this 2011 survey, where steep drainages like Comanche Gulch and East Fork Alder Creek carve through the high country of Gunnison County. The northern sector is defined by the Taylor River as it winds through Taylor Canyon, a corridor providing access to the Rosy Lane Campground via County Rd 742.

Industry and recreation intersect in this wilderness area, evidenced by the presence of the Bon Ton Mine positioned between the forks of Crystal Creek. The map documents an extensive network of Forest Service roads, including 586 a2 and 586 1a, which spider-web across the drainages of Threemile Creek and Fivemile Creek. This data, compiled from U.S. Forest Service updates, shows the modern infrastructure used to manage and access these public lands.
