2011 Map of Suicide Mountain

About this map

Gypsum Creek carves a central path through this landscape, flanked by a complex system of agricultural water management features like the McBrayer and Fenner Ditch and the Ho O R Ditch. The presence of Quaker Corral and the Gypsum Creek Ranch Airport suggests a history of ranching and high-altitude land use. To the east, the terrain rises toward North Hardscrabble Mountain and Hardscrabble Saddle, while the western portion is dominated by the namesake Suicide Mountain and the deep drainage of Fish Pond Canyon. Notable landmarks for local researchers include several named springs and small bodies of water such as Borah Lake and The Beaver Ponds. The road network is largely defined by utility corridors and service routes, including Powerline - Gypsum and Cottonwood Pass Rd.
