About this map

Gunnison National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the Taylor River carves through the steep Taylor Canyon in the northern reaches. This 2013 survey captures a wilderness defined by an intricate network of forest service trails and drainage systems, including Crystal Creek and Beaver Creek. The topography is dominated by the massive Fossil Ridge which runs through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle.

For those interested in historical land use and recreation, the map documents established routes like the Van Tuyl Trail 9431.0 and Summerville Trail 9430.0. The only noted developed site is the Rosy Lane Campground, situated near CO Road 742 along the river. The survey provides a clear view of the complex drainages and gulches, such as Trail Gulch and Comanche Gulch, that feed into the larger river systems of the Colorado Rockies.
