2022 Map of Rudolph Hill

About this map

Cebolla Creek and Powderhorn Cr converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Colorado Rockies, where deep drainages like Fish Canyon and Bear Gulch carve through the plateau. This 2022 survey captures a transition from the Gunnison County cattle country down into the northern reaches of Hinsdale County. Near the head of Smith Gulch, the historic Powderhorn Cem stands as a quiet marker of early settlement in a region now defined by extensive ranch lands and recreation. The map details a network of backcountry routes, including the Middle Fork Trl and Phelps Cabin Trl, which follow the contours of Fish Canyon Ridge. Water is the lifeblood of this terrain, found at Tenmile Springs, Bowers Lakes, and the isolated Hidden Lake, supporting the high-pasture grazing at Horse Park and Johnson Park.
