2022 Map of Elk Knob

About this map

White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape defined by steep drainages and a network of remote pack trails. The terrain is centered on Elk Knob and the prominent Huntsman Ridge, which divides the watershed between numerous creeks including Jones Cr and Clear Fork. The map documents a sparsely settled region where open spaces like Jones Park and Battle Park offer rare level ground amidst the mountains. Notable water management is evident in the Clear Fork Ditch, while the primitive transportation network is preserved through routes such as Clearfork Trl and Gooseberry Trl, indicating the area's continued use for grazing, forestry, and rugged recreation.
