About this map

Jelm Mtn and Ring Mtn anchor the high-altitude landscape of this Albany County survey, where the physical geography is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and springs. The map documents an area shaped by both natural features and human extraction, notably marked by Gyp Quarry Rd winding through the southern foothills. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the presence of Old King Ditch and the distinct reservoirs of Ring Lake Number 1 and Ring Lake Number 2.

Transportation through the peaks is limited to primary routes like Jelm Mountain Rd and Red Mountain Rd, which provide access to the high ground near Sunrise Pass. Significant water sources like Barrel Spring and Trapper Spring suggest the critical importance of reliable hydration points in this environment, while the path of Dickey Cr and Maggie Cr illustrate the drainage patterns toward the lower basins.
