About this map

Spar City stands as a focal point within the high-elevation landscape of the Rio Grande National Forest, situated among several prominent peaks. The map details a complex network of drainage systems and trails, including Roaring Fork and Fisher Cr, which carve through the terrain between Monument Peak and Fisher Mountain. This area is characterized by its legacy of resource exploration, most notably evidenced by the Denver Tunnel located near the headwaters of Bird Cr.

Modern recreation and access are highlighted by the Ivy Creek Campground and Trailhead and the North Lime Trailhead, providing entry points to extensive routes like the Deep Creek Trail 806 and Fisher Trail 891. The high ridges of Snowshoe Mountain and Copper Mountain define the horizon, illustrating the verticality of this part of Mineral County. The cartography provides a precise view of the interface between historic mining footprints and modern forest management.
