About this map

Gunnison National Forest land dominates the eastern and central portion of this Saguache County terrain, where a complex network of forest service and county roads provides access to high-altitude parks and ridges. The drainage patterns are particularly intricate, with Spring Hill Creek and S Beaver Cr carving through the landscape alongside smaller tributaries like Deer Beaver Cr and Monument Cr.

Specific natural clearings such as Soldiers Park and Long Park suggest traditional grazing or camping areas within the timbered reaches, while the presence of Right Spring highlights the importance of water sources in this environment. The southwest is anchored by the prominent Black Ridge, contrasting with the lower depressions of Watts Draw and Long Gulch. This survey captures the region during a period of modern forest management, showing the intersection of primitive roads like Co RD 17t with the established wilderness boundaries.
