About this map

Thirtynine Mile Mountain dominates this portion of the Pike National Forest, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by complex drainage systems and scattered evidence of resource exploration. The settlement of Guffey sits at the southern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a rare point of habitation amidst a terrain marked by numerous Prospects and Prospect pits, particularly around the Bumgarner area. These labels point to a history of mineral searching that characterized this part of Park County.

Water management and infrastructure are central to the area's development, evidenced by the prominent Homestake Pipeline crossing the northwest. A network of creeks, including Currant Creek, Union Creek, and Gilead Creek, carve through the valleys, while localized features like Sixmile Springs and the open expanse of Chumway Park provide further points of reference for those tracing historical land use or local genealogy in this transition between forest and valley floor.
