About this map

Gunnison National Forest land dominates the northeastern reach of this Colorado high country survey, where the drainages of Cabin Cr and E Cabin Cr carve through the rising elevation. The landscape is defined by its complex network of named ravines and ridges, ranging from Signal Peak in the west to the prominent Flat Top in the south. The southern half of the map is marked by the broad valley of Tomichi Creek, which collects runoff from several significant features including Chance Gulch, Long Gulch, and Sewell Gulch.

Infrastructure in this era consists largely of access roads like Co RD 743 and the Contour Trail, supporting movement through the public lands. Water remains the primary shaper of the terrain, visible in the way the Gunnison River clips the northwest corner and Biebel Springs provides a rare point of named source water in the central hills. The map illustrates the transition from river valley to the protected forest boundary, tracing the winding path of Cochetopa Canyon.
