2022 Map of Suicide Mountain

About this map

The town of Gypsum serves as the primary gateway to the high-elevation terrain of the White River National Forest in this Eagle County study. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the valley floor, where McBrayer Ditch and Stratton Ditch manage the water of Gypsum Creek, to the towering peaks of Hardscrabble Mtn and Suicide Mtn. The map documents a complex network of ranching and forest infrastructure, including the Gypsum Creek Ranch Airport and numerous forest service routes like the Gypsum Creek Road Trail. High-country features such as Dewey Park, Timber Basin, and the Fish Pond Lake reservoir illustrate the remote character of the Red Table Mountain range. This modern topographic record captures the area's intricate drainage systems, from Sundell Creek to Gerard Gulch, alongside the powerline corridors that traverse the ridges.
