2013 Map of Little Soap Park

About this map

Blue Mesa Reservoir dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, marking the submerged canyons of the Gunnison River. The area is a complex network of high mesas and deeply incised drainages, including Soap Mesa and Dillon Mesa, which are separated by numerous gulches like Mill Gulch and Oregon Gulch. Within the Curecanti National Recreation Area and Gunnison National Forest, the map details a primitive transportation network consisting of numbered Forest Service trails and county roads. High-elevation landmarks such as Pearson Point and the Little Soap Park Cottonwood Gulch provide navigational reference points for this high-country terrain. Public access is highlighted by the Soap Creek Campground and Commissary Gulch Campground, situated near the confluence of several mountain streams.
