1964 Map of Parlin

About this map

Parlin sits at the confluence of Tomichi Creek and Quartz Creek, serving as a focal point for the ranching and mining activity of this high-altitude landscape. The valley floor is defined by a network of water management features, including the Big Seep Reservoir and various irrigation works like the Corbitt ditch system. Mining history is prominent on the eastern slopes, where the Willow Creek Mine and the Brown Derby Mine are situated near Quartz, reflecting the mineral extraction that helped shape Gunnison County.
