2013 Map of Redstone

About this map

Redstone sits at the base of the Elk Mountains where Coal Creek meets the Crystal River, anchoring this high-elevation landscape within the White River National Forest. This 2013 survey documents a network of historical transit routes, including the Hell Roaring Trail, the Lily Lake Trail, and the Placita Trail, which trace the difficult terrain of the surrounding ridges. Along the river corridor, the map records established recreation and local landmarks like Penny Hot Springs and Avalanche Ranch. The presence of numerous campgrounds, such as Janeway Campground and Osgood Campground, highlights the area's transition from early industrial roots to a protected forest environment. From the high drainage of Hell Roaring Creek to the open flats of Dooly Park, the map provides a precise record of the hydrological and topographic features that have shaped development in this part of Pitkin County.
