About this map

The Uncompahgre River carves through the high elevations of the Uncompahgre National Forest on this 2013 survey, which centers on the town of Ouray. This area is defined by its deep vertical relief, moving from the valley floor to landmarks like Whitehouse Mountain and the Bridge of Heaven. The local industrial legacy is visible in the placement of the American Lead and Zinc Mill and the Silvershield Mill near the riverbanks.

Transport and recreation define the modern character of the landscape, with the famous Million Dollar Hwy (US-550) winding through the Uncompahgre Gorge. Genealogical and local history points of interest include the Cedar Hill Cem, family-held properties like the Erickson Ranch, and the Radium Springs Swimming Pool. Dozens of named routes, such as the Horsethief Trl and Bear Creek National Recreation Trl, grid the surrounding peaks and basins like The Amphitheater.
