1980 Map of Gunsight Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Gunsight Pass and Antelope Pass provide the primary geographic relief in this high-altitude portion of Grand County, where ranching and water management define the landscape. The intricate network of irrigation channels, including Pickering Ditch, Missouri Ditch, and Kirtz Ditch, illustrates a long-standing reliance on diverted alpine runoff for local agriculture and livestock. In the eastern reaches, the Arapaho National Forest marks a transition into more heavily timbered terrain near Monument Creek. The map documents several prospect sites near Little Wolford Mountain and Hay Gulch, reflecting historical mineral exploration in the region. Transportation is largely limited to a pack trail system and a few unimproved roads, highlighting the area's secluded character during the late 1970s.
