2011 Map of Parlin

About this map

Parlin serves as the focal point for this landscape in the Gunnison County highlands, where the waters of Tomichi Creek and Quartz Creek converge. The area is defined by a dense concentration of mineral extraction sites tucked into the steep drainages of Flick Gulch and Willow Creek. These operations, including the Upper Dome Mine and the Seventy-six Mine, point to a legacy of hard-rock mining that has shaped the local geography. To the south, agricultural activity persists at the Green Mesa Ranch, supported by irrigation features like the Corbitt Ditch. The map reveals a complex network of forest roads and county routes, such as County Rd-76, which provide access to the high basins and numerous mining claims that dot the drainages leading toward Indian Head.
