About this map

Gunnison National Forest dominates this mid-century topographic study, revealing a complex drainage system defined by the West Elk Creek watershed. The geography is characterized by deep, branching ravines such as Poison Gulch and Slab Mill Gulch, reflecting a landscape heavily shaped by seasonal water runoff and timber history. In the south, the terrain levels into features like Mesa and the prominent Tenderfoot Hill, marking the transition from high-elevation peaks toward broader valley floors.
