2019 Map of Sawtooth Mountain

About this map

Gunnison National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of Saguache County, defined by prominent summits such as Sawtooth Mtn and Agency Peak. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where seasonal drainages like Townsite Gulch and Homestead Gulch carve through the high parks and ridges, providing a detailed record of the drainage patterns feeding into Cochetopa Creek. The map illustrates the specialized water management infrastructure of the Colorado high country, featuring the Smith Ford Ditch near Moss Lake. Transportation is limited to narrow corridors like Co RD 14 PP, which skirts the dramatic Cochetopa Canyon. This modern data capture reflects the region's character as a managed wilderness area, preserving the names of historic grazing and camping grounds such as Lick Park, Muddy Park, and Bead Park.
