About this map

Gold Basin Creek and South Beaver Creek define the drainage patterns of this high-elevation landscape in Gunnison County. The map area is characterized by a network of rural access roads, including County Rd 32 and County Rd 38, which traverse the undulating terrain and provide access to the various gulches and creek beds. These drainage systems, such as Long Gulch and Pole Creek, suggest a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow and ranching or grazing activities typical of this region of Colorado. The absence of concentrated town centers emphasizes the area's use for agriculture or resource management, with Sugar Creek marking the southwestern reaches of this survey. For the researcher, this data offers a clear look at land divisions and the specific routes used to navigate these valleys.
