1937 Map of Taylor Park

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

The Sawatch Mountains and the high-altitude drainage of the Taylor River define this 1930s survey of the Gunnison National Forest. A high-country mining economy is evident throughout the terrain, with industrial sites like the Enterprise Mine and Pieplant Mill situated near the headwaters of alpine creeks. The settlement at Dorchester and various outposts such as the Pieplant Cow Camp and Union Park Cow Camp suggest a seasonal landscape shared between mineral extraction and livestock grazing. Forestry and land management are anchored by the Mosca Ranger Sta and the Willow Creek Ranger Sta. Significant peaks including Grizzly Peak and American Flag Mtn surround the central Taylor Canyon, while the Continental Divide forms the eastern boundary, marking the rugged transition between Gunnison, Chaffee, and Pitkin counties.
