2022 Map of West Elk Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

Gunnison National Forest encompasses the entirety of this high-altitude landscape, dominated by the peaks and basins of the West Elk Mountains. At the heart of the terrain stands West Elk Peak, a towering landmark surrounded by the West Elk Basin and Soap Basin. The geography is defined by sharp topographic relief, where features like The Castles and Storm Pass dictate the natural travel routes. Water is central to the area's character, with Rainbow Lake and the Highline Ditch highlighting the management of alpine resources. Numerous drainage systems, including Castle Cr, Beaver Cr, and E Steuben Cr, carve through the mountain slopes. A network of primitive paths, such as the Rainbow Lake Trl and Mill Castle Trl, provides the primary means of navigating between the prominent summits of North Baldy Mtn and South Baldy Mtn.
