About this map

Crystal sits at the convergence of mountain drainages in this high-altitude survey of the Elk Mountains, where industrial mining history and modern wilderness management intersect. Located along the Crystal River, this remote settlement is surrounded by steep basins and peaks like Mineral Point and Sheep Mountain. Further south, the map details the area around Schofield, a site positioned near the dramatic Schofield Pass and Schofield Park.

Transport through this challenging environment is defined by an extensive network of footpaths and forest roads, including the Maroon Snowmass Trail and the Geneva Lake Trail. The drainage patterns are meticulously traced, from the headwaters of the North Fork Crystal River to the alpine waters of Snowmass Lake and Galena Lake. This geography reflects the boundary between the White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest, illustrating a landscape of high-elevation glacial lakes and prominent summits such as Snowmass Peak and Treasury Mountain.
