About this map

Powderhorn sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape where the waters of Cebolla Cr and Powderhorn Cr converge. The topography is defined by a series of prominent mesas and deep drainages, including Huntsman Mesa and the nearby Soderquist Reservoir. This 2016 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region of Gunnison County, characterized by a complex network of backroads such as Co RD 149f and Co RD 27 that navigate the varied terrain of Wildcat Gulch and Milkranch Gulch.

A notable geological and recreational point of interest is the Cebolla Hot Springs, located just south of the main settlement. The map also details significant landmarks like Ninemile Hill to the north and Iron Hill to the south, providing a clear record of the area's physical geography. The drainage patterns of Deldorado Cr and Willow Cr emphasize the importance of water management in this high-altitude environment.
