1938 Map of Mount Gunnison

About this map

Somerset serves as the primary gateway to the high-country terrain of the Gunnison National Forest in this 1930s-era survey. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the North Fork Gunnison River and its major tributaries, including Anthracite Creek and Muddy Creek. The region’s agricultural and ranching history is evidenced by remote outposts such as the Minnesota Cow Camp and the Davenport Ranch, while the Munsey-Ruby Stock Driveway traces a traditional route for moving livestock between seasonal pastures.
