2013 Map of Sargents

About this map

Sargents sits at a critical junction of high-altitude geography and transportation in the southern portion of the Gunnison National Forest. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex drainage systems that define the Continental Divide region, where the Tomichi Cr and its many tributaries, such as Agate Cr and Marshall Cr, carve through the mountainous terrain. The map highlights the intersection of US Highway 50 and historic routes like CO Road 888, reflecting the area's ongoing importance as a passage through the Rockies. Recreational and natural landmarks are prominent, including Waunita Park in the northwest and Black Sage Pass to the north. For those tracing the landscape's utility, the inclusion of Sawmill Gulch and various forest trails, like the Quakey Mountain West Trail 9538.0, offers insight into the timber and transit history of Saguache County.
