1980 Map of Gunsight Pass

About this map

Gunsight Pass and Antelope Pass anchor this high-country landscape in the Colorado Rockies, where the hydrology of the western slope is defined by intricate water management. The terrain is marked by a series of irrigation and drainage structures, including the Missouri Ditch, Pickering Ditch, and Kirtz Ditch, which divert mountain runoff across the slopes. The drainage system of Troublesome Creek and its many tributaries, such as Buckhorn Creek and Charlie Creek, flows through the central portion of the map, eventually reaching the lower elevations near Little Wolford Mountain.
