About this map

Parlin serves as the primary focal point for this high-country landscape, where the confluence of Quartz Cr and Tomichi Creek dictates the local geography. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural waterworks near the settlement, such as the Corbitt Ditch, to the protected wilderness of the Gunnison National Forest. To the north, the terrain is defined by dramatic landforms including Fossil Ridge and the Beaver-Mc Intyre divide.

Local navigation and history are tied to a complex system of drainage and grazing basins, from Roundup Basin in the west to the deeply carved ravines of Left Fork Flick Gulch and Tollgate Gulch in the east. Notable landmarks like Indian Head rise above the canyon floors, while a network of county roads, including Co RD 76 and Co RD 40, trace the paths carved by early ranching and forest access routes.
