2019 Map of Lake City

About this map

Lake City serves as the focal point of this Hinsdale County landscape, where the confluence of Henson Cr and the Lake Fork river shapes the local geography. The town's civic character is anchored by the Hinsdale County Courthouse, while the community’s history is preserved at both the Old Cem and New Cem located along the riverbanks. The surrounding terrain is defined by the high-altitude divide between the Uncompahgre National Forest and the Gunnison National Forest. Natural landmarks like Sugarloaf Rock and Treasure Falls dot the drainages, while several alpine basins hold bodies of water such as Crystal Lake and Waterdog Lake. The intricate network of local streets, including Gunnison Ave and Silver St, reflects a settlement long-established within this steep mountain valley.
