Gunnison National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the peaks and ridges of the West Elk Mountains dictate the patterns of movement and water. The map reveals a complex network of high-country drainage, with Smith Fork and its various branches, such as Lone Pine Cr and Virginia Cr, carving through the steep terrain. Human presence is largely defined by water management and access, seen in features like the Saddle Mountain Highline Ditch and the lone Hawks Nest Ranch.
