2013 Map of Suicide Mountain

About this map

White River National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this high-altitude landscape in Eagle County, defined by a complex network of agricultural and ranching infrastructure. Irrigation systems like the McBrayer and Farmer Ditch and Stratton Ditch serve the northern valley near Gypsum Creek Ranch Airport, illustrating the vital role of water management in this arid mountain environment. Further south, the terrain rises toward significant peaks including Suicide Mountain and Red Table Mountain, where public access is facilitated by historic routes such as Sundell Trail 1863. Remote landmarks like Quaker Corral and seasonal water sources like Spruce Spring point to a legacy of livestock grazing and wilderness activity. The presence of the Gypsum Creek Campground and numerous named gulches reflects the area's ongoing importance for both natural resource management and mountain recreation.
