About this map

The mountain town of Gunnison serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, situated at the confluence where Tomichi Creek joins the Gunnison River. The city's academic and civic core is well-defined, featuring the Western State Colorado University campus and the Gunnison County Courthouse. The surrounding high-country landscape is deeply etched by numerous drainage ways, including Maggie Gulch, Deep Gulch, and Hartman Gulch, which feed into the primary river systems. To the west, the map details the eastern fringes of the Curecanti National Recreation Area.

Transportation and infrastructure are clearly marked, from the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport south of town to the network of rural roads like Co RD 818 and Co RD 17 that reach into the surrounding foothills. Local history and genealogy are supported by the inclusion of the Gunnison Cem and Palisade Cem, while the rugged eastern horizon is anchored by the prominent Tenderfoot Mtn. Smaller settlements and developments like Graceland appear alongside vital water management features such as the Lone Pine Ditch and May Bohm Ditch.
