About this map

Parlin sits at the confluence of Tomichi Creek and Quartz Cr, serving as a central point for the ranching and transit corridors of southern Gunnison County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and named gulches, such as Sewell Gulch and Tollgate Gulch, which historically dictated the movement of livestock and travelers through this high-elevation terrain. This 2013 survey details the vital irrigation and water management infrastructure necessary for this environment, including the Corbitt Ditch and the Big Seep Reservoir.

Large portions of the northern and eastern sections are protected within the Gunnison National Forest, where a system of high-altitude paths like the Beaver McIntyre Trail 9472.0 and the McIntyre Gulch Trail 9578.0 follows the natural contours of the land. Landmarks like Indian Head and Roundup Basin reflect the area's local orientation points for those navigating the backcountry near the Fossil Ridge Trail 9478.0.
