About this map

Rice Mtn and Thompson Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape in Fremont County, where drainage systems like Gooseberry Gulch and Maverick Gulch carve through the terrain. The map reveals a complex network of public land access routes, specifically the numerous Bureau of Land Management trails such as Blm T5830a Trl and Blm T5827a Trl that navigate the ridges and draws. These trails connect the higher peaks to lower flatlands like Webster Park and Shaws Park.

Water sources are critical landmarks in this environment, with Red Rocks Spring and Bumback Spring providing notable points of interest amidst the gulches. The southern portion of the map transitions into the broader expanse of Eightmile Park, while distinctive formations such as Twin Mtn and the ridges of Blue Ridge provide clear orientation for those studying the topography of the region west of Canon City.
