2001 Map of Matchless Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

Gunnison National Forest land defines this corner of the Colorado high country at the turn of the 21st century, where the mining legacy of the Elk Mountains meets modern recreation. The topography is dominated by the massive ridge line of Matchless Mountain and South Matchless Mountain, descending into the deep drainage of Taylor Canyon. Resource extraction is evident at the Doctor Mine and multiple mines and prospects near Manganese Peak, while the Colorado Trail and Gunnison Spur reflect the area's transition toward wilderness management. Notable water features include the Spring Creek Reservoir with its boat ramp at the northern edge, and the Taylor River flowing through the southern canyons near Lodgepole. The presence of the Fossil Ridge Wilderness in the southeast indicates the high degree of conservation within this high-altitude landscape.
