2011 Map of Thirtynine Mile Mountain

About this map

Thirtynine Mile Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape in southern Park County, serving as the central topographical anchor for a complex network of drainage basins. To the south, the small community of Guffey sits at the intersection of local routes like County Rd 102 and County Rd 122, while the historic Wilson Ranch remains established near Sheep Gulch in the northwest. The drainage patterns revealed here show a divide where waters flow toward Currant Creek and Freshwater Creek, highlighting the importance of these seasonal and perennial water sources for ranching and settlement. Access to the high country is facilitated by a grid of Forest Service roads, including Forest Rd 253 and Forest Rd 270, which cut through the drainage of Pruden Creek and Union Creek. The map illustrates a transitional landscape where isolated mountain parks like Chumway Park provide flat acreage amidst the surrounding peaks.
