1962 Map of Spring Hill Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Gunnison National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of Saguache and Gunnison counties, defined by a complex network of resource extraction and seasonal grazing. Evidence of early mineral interest is found in the Continental Mine and Midland Mine, while various unnamed prospects are scattered across the western slopes of Black Ridge. The human footprint is concentrated around several historic landholdings and camps, including the Shelton Ranch along South Beaver Creek and the Mergelmann Cow Camp. Water sources are critical in this terrain, as seen in the named springs and high-basin features like Big Mud Pond and Little Mud Pond. Movement through the drainage systems of Willow Creek and Sugar Creek is primarily facilitated by established trails and rugged jeep trails that connect the isolated Watts Homestead to the higher ridgelines and timbered parks.
