2001 Map of Elk Knob

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

Gunnison National Forest and White River National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems flowing from Huntsman Ridge and the prominent volcanic profile of Elk Knob. In the lower elevations near the southern border, small clearings such as Tolan Place and Olson Place indicate localized land use within a region otherwise managed for timber and watershed protection. The convergence of numerous watercourses including the Clear Fork, Muddy Creek, and Coal Creek highlights the importance of the area's hydrology, underscored by the presence of a Gaging Sta and multiple wells. Historic routes like the Ranger Ridge Trail wind through the gulches, connecting landmarks like Jones Park to the higher basins used for seasonal grazing or resource management.
