1954 Map of West Elk Peak SW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Gunnison National Forest dominates this mid-century topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage basins and high-elevation terrain. The map captures the area following 1950 aerial photography, documenting a transition from the elevated Mesa Dillon in the southwest toward the prominent Tenderfoot Hill. The drainages here tell a story of early resource use and local nomenclature, with names like Slab Mill Gulch and Burnt Mill Gulch hinting at former timber or milling activity within the forest.
