About this map

Gunnison National Forest terrain dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and named gulches. The drainage pattern indicates a history of localized activity, with specific names like Slab Mill Gulch and Burnt Mill Gulch suggesting early timber or milling operations that preceded the 1950s aerial photography. High-elevation features such as Lion Elk Park and the prominent Mesa in the southwest corner overlook a series of creeks, including West Elk Creek and the many forks of Frying Pan Creek.
