2019 Map of Slumgullion Pass

About this map

The geologic mass movement of the Slumgullion Slide and Slumgullion Earthflow dominates the northern high-country landscape near the Hinsdale and Mineral County line. This 2019 survey captures the drainage patterns and recreational routes within the Gunnison National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds across high-elevation features like Jarosa Mesa and Snow Mesa, providing a clear record of this high mountain corridor. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, water resources such as Continental Reservoir and Pointer Lake sit at the confluence of several high-altitude drainages, including Rito Hondo Cr and N Clear Cr. Specialized winter use is highlighted by numerous snowmobile routes like the Rambouillet Snowmobile and Cebolla Snowmobile trails, illustrating how modern recreational access is mapped alongside traditional topographic features like Horsethief Mtn.
