Gunnison National Forest dominates this landscape where the high peaks of the West Elk Wilderness meet complex drainage networks. The map details a rugged transition from the alpine heights of Mount Guero and Smith Fork Mountain down to the managed water systems of the lower valleys. Ranching and water management history is evident in the presence of the Hawks-Nest Ranch and a series of high-altitude irrigation features including the Highline Ditch and the Grand View Ditch.
