About this map

Yorkville serves as a small point of habitation within the high-elevation landscape of the Isabel National Forest during the mid-1990s. The area is defined by a dense network of gulches and ridges, where Grape Creek and its many tributaries, such as Isinglass Gulch and Hellgate Gulch, have carved deep into the terrain. The map captures the meeting of Fremont and Custer counties, marked by the Standard Parallel South and a series of prominent summits including Curley Peak and Tanner Peak.

Evidence of resource extraction is scattered across the topography, with numerous prospects and a Gravel Pit noted near the Oak Creek Grade. Transportation in this era relied on historic routes like the Tanner Trail and Highline Trail, which navigate the steep elevations between Scrapping Ridges and Locke Park. The presence of a Spring and Well near the local settlements suggests the importance of water management in this high-altitude environment.
