2016 Map of Parlin

About this map

Parlin sits at the southern edge of this survey, serving as a hub where Tomichi Creek and Quartz Cr converge amidst a landscape defined by ranching and high-altitude drainage. The southern valley floor, marked by the Corbitt Ditch, transitions into the rugged northern terrain of the Gunnison National Forest. This area is characterized by an intricate network of deep canyons and named gulches, including Devils Hole Gulch and McIntyre Gulch. The map preserves the paths of early travel through the backcountry, such as the Beaver-Cow Trail and the Fossil Ridge Trail, reflecting a land used for both grazing and timber. Higher elevations reveal water management features like Big Seep Reservoir and notable landmarks like the Indian Head formation, illustrating the area's geography where open range meets the protected mountain forest.
