About this map

Gunnison National Forest defines the eastern expanse of this Saguache County terrain, where high-altitude parks and complex drainage systems meet. The landscape is characterized by prominent open spaces such as Soldiers Park and Long Park, which suggest the high-country meadow systems common to this part of the Rockies. A web of mountain streams, including Spring Hill Cr and Deer Beaver Cr, carves through the topography, while Black Ridge stands as a significant dividing feature in the southern portion of the sheet.

Transportation is limited to rugged corridors like Co RD 1tt and Co RD 5yy, reflecting the area's isolation and its primary use for forest management and seasonal access. Local history and geography enthusiasts can trace the intricate water network from Right Spring through numerous named draws and gulches, such as Watts Draw and Long Gulch, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the western slope.
