2019 Map of Elk Knob

About this map

White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest converge in this high-elevation landscape, where the administrative boundaries of Mesa, Delta, Gunnison, and Pitkin counties meet. The terrain is defined by prominent landmarks such as Elk Knob and the long stretch of Huntsman Ridge to the east. Water management and natural drainage systems are central to the geography, with the Clear Fork Ditch cutting across the north and numerous tributaries like Jones Creek and Little Muddy Cr carving deep into the mountain slopes.
