About this map

Taylor Park Reservoir dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Gunnison National Forest, serving as a central catchment for numerous mountain drainages. Fed by Illinois Creek and Texas Creek, the reservoir is a significant recreation hub, evidenced by the Lakeview Campground on its southern shore and the small settlement of Taylor Park.

A network of seasonal transportation routes, including the Cottonwood Pass Snowmobile and Cumberland Pass Snowmobile/Ski trails, highlights the area's winter utility. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Taylor Canyon and Union Canyon, which lead toward the distinct peak of Park Cone. These physical features, alongside named gulches like Bertha Gulch and Kentucky Gulch, provide a detailed look at the land use and topographic character of this part of Gunnison County.
