2001 Map of West Elk Peak SW

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

The Gunnison National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by a dense network of drainage systems that descend from the high country toward the south. Historically significant labels such as Slab Mill Gulch and Burnt Mill Gulch suggest early timber activity in the region, while the transition from the protected West Elk Wilderness in the northwest to the Sapinero State Wildlife Area further south reflects evolving land management priorities. The terrain is deeply incised by prominent waterways including West Elk Creek and the bifurcated East Fork and West Fork Dry Creeks. Notable landmarks such as Tenderfoot Hill and the broad Mesa in the southwest corner serve as anchor points for understanding the topographical relief of this part of Colorado.
