2001 Map of Elk Park

About this map

Eddiesville serves as a small anchor point in this high-altitude landscape, where the Gunnison and Rio Grande National Forests meet along the jagged crest of the La Garita Mountains. The 2001 revision illustrates a complex network of backcountry routes, most notably the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the Skyline Trail, which trace the high ridges and drainage divides. Water systems like Cochetopa Creek and Stewart Creek flow through deep-cut basins like Hondo Cañon, defining the movement of early travelers and forest rangers alike.
