About this map

Guernsey Mill and the nearby Sugarloaf Saw Mill stand as markers of the timber operations that historically shaped this high-elevation reach of the Greenhorn Mountains. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape primarily defined by Forest Service infrastructure and recreational development, featuring a dense network of forest routes such as Rancheria Rd and numerous seasonal sites including Spear Creek Summer HomeTract.

The terrain is characterized by a series of high-altitude meadows, from Tobias Meadow to Portuguese Meadow, which serve as natural clearings among the peaks. Water sources are abundant, with named features like Water Gap Spring and Cold Spring feeding the headwaters of the White River and Bull Run Cr. The presence of the Greenhorn Mountains Lookout atop Tobias Peak highlights the region's ongoing importance for wildfire surveillance and forest management.
