About this map

San Isabel National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape in Colorado, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks feeding into Badger Creek. The map documents a rugged interior geography shaped by early resource extraction and historic pathways, notably the Banning Trail in the northwest. Prospectors and surveyors recorded numerous industrial traces, including the Cooper Mine and several unnamed mines situated along the slopes of Jack Hall Mountain.

The drainage patterns of Willow Creek, Two Creek, and Bills Creek reveal a complex watershed where family-named landmarks like Little Baldy Mountain rise above deep-cut ravines such as Hells Hole Gulch and Tombstone Gulch. This 1983 survey captures the area before modern development, preserving the locations of remote mine shafts and old jeep trails that provided the only access into the backcountry of Burnt Timber Gulch and Mohawk Gulch.
