2019 Map of Redstone

About this map

Redstone sits at the heart of this high-elevation terrain within the White River National Forest, where the Crystal River valley serves as a primary corridor through the Elk Mountains. The landscape is defined by its industrial and geothermal legacies, from the former mining works at Coal Basin to the natural thermal waters of Penny Hot Springs. The map details the transition from the concentrated settlement at Redstone to the expansive wilderness areas, including Dooly Park and the drainage of Avalanche Cr. Extensive public lands are marked by seasonal recreation routes like the Avalanche Creek Road X-C Ski (Snow) and the Filoha Meadows Trail. Water resources are prominent throughout the steep topography, featuring the Redstone Reservoir and high-altitude water bodies such as Lily Lake, while the southern reaches descend toward the small community of Placita.
