2022 Map of Mount Tyndall

About this map

Silver Cliff and the high peaks of the Wet Mountains anchor this modern-era study of Custer County. The landscape is defined by its complex topography and mining history, notably around Bassick Hill and the settlement of Querida. Named for the famous silver mine that spurred local growth, the terrain here transitions from the dense drainages of Tenmile Gulch and Boneyard Gulch to the prominent heights of Mt Tyndall and McKinley Mtn. A network of rural routes like Co RD 341 and Fowler Rd provide access to the foothill communities and the expansive San Isabel National Forest. This contemporary survey captures the modern road system overlaid on a terrain shaped by centuries of ranching and hard-rock mining, including landmarks like Lookout Mtn and the appropriately named Dead Mule Gulch.
