About this map

White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Elk Mountains, defined by sharp ridges and deep glacial basins. The settlement patterns of Elkton, Pittsburg, and Irwin are mapped alongside a complex network of seasonal routes, including the Slate River Snowmobile/Ski trail and Washington Gulch. Dramatic elevation changes are evident from the heights of Mt Owen and Gothic Mtn down to the valley of the Slate River. This modern survey illustrates the enduring legacy of the region's mining and ranching history, where old names like Poverty Gulch and Schuylkill Mtn remain as markers of the area's development. For local researchers, the map provides precise locations for remote water bodies such as Lower Peeler Lake and Blue Lake, as well as named topographic features like Scarp Ridge and Angel Pass.
