1994 Map of Thirtynine Mile Mountain

About this map

Guffey serves as the primary hub for this high-altitude landscape in southern Park County, situated amidst the complex terrain of the Pike National Forest. The prominent volcanic massif of Thirtynine Mile Mountain dominates the center of the sheet, surrounded by a dense network of watercourses including Currant Creek, Fourmile Creek, and the evocatively named Balm of Gilead Creek. Evidence of resource extraction and infrastructure is visible throughout, marked by scattered Prospects and the linear path of the Homestake Pipeline. This 1994 revision captures a region shaped by ranching and small-scale mining history, where high-country meadows like Chumway Park contrast with the deep drainages of Sheep Gulch and Dicks Creek. The survey provides a clear view of the rural road network and section lines that define property and resource management within the Colorado mountains during the late 20th century.
