About this map

Mt Ouray anchors this high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of Chaffee, Saguache, and Gunnison counties converge. The rugged topography is defined by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which traverses the western edge of the map, passing through Marshall Pass and along the Monarch Crest. This area is a significant hydrological divide, with headwaters including Greens Creek flowing north and Poncha Cr winding through the southern drainage.

Outdoor recreation and forestry management are central to this section of the San Isabel National Forest and Gunnison National Forest. Notable water features such as O'Haver Lake, Pass Cr Lake, and the Silver Cr Lakes are points of interest for those tracking historical land use. Named peaks and ridges like Chipeta Mtn, Chipeta Ridge, and the distinctively named Devils Armchair provide a detailed look at the sawtooth terrain and high alpine basins of the Sawatch Range.
