2013 Map of Mount Ouray

About this map

Mount Ouray stands as the dominant topographical feature of this high-altitude landscape, marking a significant point along the boundary of Chaffee and Saguache Counties. The area is defined by the intersection of the San Isabel National Forest and Gunnison National Forest, creating a massive corridor of protected wilderness where drainage systems like Poncha Creek and Little Cochetopa Creek carve through the steep terrain. Historic transportation routes and modern recreation overlap here, with the Marshall Pass Road and the Rainbow Trail 1336 providing access to remote landmarks such as the Devils Armchair. High-altitude water bodies, including Lake O'Haver and the Silver Creek Lakes, anchor local activity points like the O'Haver Lake Campground. This survey illustrates the intricate network of forest service trails, including the Starvation Creek Trail 1408 and Pass Creek Trail 1411, that connect these peaks and ranching sites like Blanchard Ranch.
