About this map

Gunnison National Forest terrain dominates this 1963 survey of the high-elevation backcountry in Hinsdale County. The landscape is defined by the deep incision of Fish Creek Canyon and the high point of Mineral Mountain, while human activity is limited to recreational and historic access routes. A network of primitive paths, including the Robbers Roost Trail and various unnamed Jeep Trails, provides the only ingress into these remote drainages.

Along the winding course of Cebolla Creek, established sites like Cebolla Campground and Spruce Campground mark the primary points of seasonal habitation. The map also delineates the Cebolla Game Management Area, illustrating the region's focus on wildlife conservation and public land management. Hydrological features such as Dry Lake, Cathedral Creek, and the isolated Mineral Park further characterize this high-country environment.
