About this map

Yorkville and Galena anchor the southeastern corner of this map, situated where the terrain begins its ascent into the San Isabel National Forest. This region is defined by a dense network of gulches and ridges that feed into major waterways like Grape Cr and Oak Cr. Significant elevations including Curley Peak and Tanner Peak dominate the northern landscape, while Locke Mtn and McKinley Mtn overlook the southern reaches.

A complex system of local roads and trails, such as Co Rd 143 and the Ponderosa Trl, provides access through the rugged drainages of Hellgate Gulch and East Bear Gulch. The transition from the rural settlements of the Fremont County and Custer County line to the high-country features of Locke Park and Chute Park illustrates the varied landscape of this Colorado mountain corridor in the late 2010s.
