2019 Map of Rock Creek Park

About this map

Rock Creek Park sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in Saguache County, where a network of seasonal streams and open parklands characterizes the terrain. The map records several named clearings such as Summit Park, Porcupine Park, and McDonough Park, which are interspersed among the dense wooded boundaries of the Gunnison National Forest. The drainage pattern is particularly intricate here, with Rock Cr and its tributaries, including Monument Rock Cr and School Section Cr, carving through the steep topography. Grounded in the southern reaches, the Pinto Basin offers a distinctive geological landmark, while the presence of East Spring suggests essential water sources in this remote backcountry. The infrastructure is limited primarily to rural routes like Co Rd 17T, reflecting a region dedicated to conservation and natural resource management rather than dense settlement.
