About this map

Gunnison sits at the confluence of the Gunnison River and Tomichi Creek, serving as a central hub for ranching and recreation in the high Rockies. The 2010 landscape reveals a complex network of water management, from the Gunnison Highline Canal to the May Bohm Ditch, which support the surrounding livestock operations at places like Thornton Ranch and McCabe Ranch. The town center is well-defined by the Gunnison County Fairgrounds, Legion Park Golf Course, and the Gunnison Post Office.

Beyond the civic center, the topography is carved by numerous drainages including Blinberry Gulch and Steers Gulch. These natural corridors, along with the rising prominence of Tenderfoot Mountain, dictate the path of local travel. For those tracing family histories, both the Palisade Cemetery and Gunnison Cemetery are clearly marked, while the distant Paragon School suggests the earlier footprint of rural education in the outlying valley.
