The Gunnison National Forest high country, straddling the Gunnison and Saguache county line, is defined by a landscape of high ridges and narrow draws shaped by decades of mining and ranching. The presence of the Continental Mine and Midland Mine alongside numerous labeled prospects highlights the era’s mineral exploration, while the remote Shelton Ranch, Cooper Ranch, and Mergelmann Cow Camp suggest a persistent livestock economy in this difficult terrain.
