2001 Map of Houston Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

Parlin Flats and the winding course of Tomichi Creek dominate the northern landscape of this Gunnison County study, updated at the start of the 21st century. The terrain transitions from these broad alluvial flats into the complex drainage systems of Houston Gulch and Snyder Gulch. High-altitude ranching and mining history are evident through features like the Green Mesa Ranch and the Alaska Mine, while the southern reaches of the map climb into the timbered slopes of the Gunnison National Forest. A notable concentration of named water sources, including Prospector Spring and Valdez Spring, highlights the importance of water rights in this arid environment, further emphasized by the presence of the Arch Irrigation Ditch. The map also traces the Gunnison and Saguache county line as it traverses the high ridges near Lions Head.
