About this map

Gunnison National Forest terrain dominates this mid-century survey, defined by the drainage basins of the Taylor River and Spring Creek. The high-altitude landscape is marked by several prominent summits, including Matchless Mountain, South Matchless Mtn, and Boston Peak. For the researcher of industrial history, the map locates the Doctor Mine and multiple Prospect sites, particularly around Salsbury Gulch and Manganese Gulch.

Evidence of the region's recreational development is visible through a network of campgrounds such as Mosca Campground and Lottis Creek Campground, alongside the Matchless Trail. Water resources are a focal point, with the Spring Creek Reservoir in the north and numerous named springs, including White Water Spring and Caroline Spring, feeding the complex system of gulches like Doctor Gulch and Wheelbarrow Gulch. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the expansive Doctor Park and the rugged contours of Paint Mountain.
