2013 Map of Pahlone Peak

About this map

The high alpine terrain along the Continental Divide defines this map, where the boundaries of Chaffee, Gunnison, and Saguache counties meet. This high-altitude landscape is characterized by its complex network of trails and passes, notably Monarch Pass and the higher Old Monarch Pass. The area supports significant recreational and industrial infrastructure, ranging from the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail to the Mine Wastewater Treatment Reservoir near Indian Creek. Deep drainage basins such as Agate Creek and Marshall Creek carve through the peaks, providing a rugged setting for specialized routes like the Lime Ridge Jeep Trail. The presence of Pahlone Peak and Mount Peck highlights the prominence of the Sawatch Range, while the extensive boundaries of the Gunnison National Forest and San Isabel National Forest reflect a landscape dedicated to resource management and preservation.
