About this map

Sunset City sits within a complex network of drainages and high points south of the Arkansas River Canyon. The landscape is defined by its deep gulches and significant elevation changes, ranging from the Arkansas River at the northern edge to the high elevations of Poverty Mountain and the McIntyre Hills. This 2013 record illustrates how human infrastructure like Us-50 W and Mine Shaft Rd navigates the challenging terrain of Fremont County.

Local landmarks such as Parkdale Siding near the river and the Harvey-Murry Reservoir indicate the region's historical reliance on rail transport and water management. Numerous named features like Bootlegger Gulch, Poverty Gulch, and Surrey Gulch offer clues to the area's colorful prospecting and settlement history. To the north, Fink and the waters of Tallahassee Cr mark the transition toward more open high-country terrain.
