2013 Map of Pieplant

About this map

Pieplant Mill sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Taylor River and Pieplant Cr gather. This 2013 survey illustrates the intersection of three major protected areas: the White River National Forest, San Isabel National Forest, and Gunnison National Forest. The map documents a complex network of high-country routes, including the Red Mountain Creek Trail and the Timberline Trail, which navigate between prominent summits like Jenkins Mountain and Grizzly Peak. To the west, the Pothole Reservoir Number 1 and its twin provide water storage near Taylor Park. The cartography emphasizes the area's history of extraction and recreation, tracing drainage systems from Silver Basin and Church Basin down to the valley floors of the Illinois Cr and Trail Cr.
