About this map

The settlement of Sargents sits at a critical junction of high-altitude drainages and historical travel corridors within the Gunnison National Forest. Located where Tomichi Cr meets Marshall Cr, this area is defined by the high peaks of the Sawatch Range and the prominent volcanic terrain of Quakey Mtn and Steepy Mtn. The landscape is a complex network of drainages such as Agate Cr and Waddle Cr, long used as natural pathways through the mountains.

Modern recreation follows these older lines of movement, evidenced by the Marshall Pass Snowmobile Trl and Sargents Ridge Snowmobile/Ski Trl. This survey captures the divide between Gunnison and Saguache counties, highlighting how the high ridges of Dawson Ridge and landmarks like Black Sage Pass dictated the placement of early pack trails and later forest roads. The presence of named features like Deacon Jones Gulch and Berry Gulch suggests a legacy of local land use tied to the region's ranching and timber history.
