2011 Map of Redstone

About this map

The Redstone settlement and the winding corridor of the Crystal River anchor this 2011 survey of the Colorado Rockies. This area is characterized by deep drainage basins and significant elevation changes, with numerous tributaries such as Hell Roaring Creek and Avalanche Creek feeding into the main river valley. Evidence of the region’s industrial and recreational history is clear, from the Ground Hog Group Mine tucked into the slopes to the clustering of sites like the Osgood Campground and Penny Hot Springs. The map documents a landscape defined by its rugged topography, where human activity is concentrated along narrow valley floors and historical routes like Redstone Blvd. Higher elevations like Dooly Park remain largely undeveloped, highlighting the stark contrast between the settled riverfront and the surrounding mountain wilderness.
