About this map

Powderhorn sits at the confluence of several significant watercourses in this high-altitude section of Gunnison County. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Cebolla Cr and Powderhorn Cr, which meet near the thermal waters of Cebolla Hot Springs. This 2019 survey illustrates a complex network of county roads, such as Co RD 149n and Co RD 27, that provide access to the surrounding plateaus and gulches.

Prominent landforms like Huntsman Mesa and Ninemile Hill dominate the topography, interspersed with deep incisions like Wildcat Gulch and Stone Gulch. In the eastern portion of the map, the Soderquist Reservoir represents a managed water resource above Watts Draw. The mapping reveals a transition between creek-side settlement and the broader range lands of the western slope, including features like Iron Hill and Deldorado Cr.
