About this map

Bumgarner stands as a focal point in this high-altitude landscape within the Pike National Forest, captured during the early 1980s. The area is defined by significant topographic rises, including Witcher Mountain, Mc Intyre Mountain, and Saddle Mountain. Water sources are abundant across the terrain, with drainage provided by Fourmile Creek, Wagon Tongue Creek, and Cottonwood Creek, alongside numerous smaller springs and gulches like Brooker Gulch and Castle Gulch.

Evidence of historical land use and resource exploration is scattered throughout the territory, marked by several points labeled Prospect or Prospects. These sites, often located on the slopes of peaks like Castle Mountain, reflect the mining heritage of the region. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the Thirtynine Mile Road, a Ranger Station, and a remote Landing Strip, illustrating the balance between forest management and local connectivity in this part of Colorado.
