About this map

Cebolla Cr and its many tributaries, including Dry Powderhorn Cr and Crystal Cr, carve a complex drainage system through this high-elevation landscape where the borders of Gunnison, Saguache, and Hinsdale counties meet. The settlement pattern is defined by isolated ranching outposts such as Sammons Ranch, Jardine Ranch, and Youmans Ranch, indicating a legacy of high-country pastoral use.

Significant landmarks like Rudolph Hill and Swinehart Ridge rise above the gulches, while local history is anchored at the Powderhorn Cem and the central Smith Place. The terrain is punctuated by water sources essential for this environment, ranging from Tenmile Springs to the secluded Hidden Water Lake and Bowers Lakes. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the naming conventions and property locations in a corner of Colorado where rugged landforms like Fish Canyon Ridge dictate the movement of both water and people.
