Emma Burr Mountain is a Шаблон:Convert mountain summit on the common border shared by Chaffee and Gunnison counties in Colorado, United States.[1]

Description

Emma Burr Mountain is set on the Continental Divide in the Collegiate Peaks which are a subrange of the Sawatch Range.[2] The mountain ranks as the 12th-highest peak in Gunnison County and the 226th-highest in Colorado.[3] The peak is located Шаблон:Convert southeast of the community of Tincup in the San Isabel National Forest and Gunnison National Forest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's east slope drains into tributaries of Cottonwood Creek which in turn is a tributary of the Arkansas River, whereas the west slope drains to Willow Creek which is a tributary of the Taylor River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises nearly Шаблон:Convert above Mirror Lake in less than Шаблон:Convert. The peak is the highest point along the Continental Divide for a 160-mile stretch from Carson Peak to an unnamed peak with elevation 13,570-ft.[4][5]

History

In 1878, lode deposits were discovered in the vicinity, and the town of Virginia City was laid out in March 1879. By 1881 there were numerous mines, the principal ones being Gold Cup, Emma Burr, Anna Dedrika, Tin Cup, Mayflower, Cumberland, Jimmy Mack, King and Queen.[6] The name of the town was changed to Tincup, a nearby pass to the south was named Cumberland Pass, and mountains were named Emma Burr Mountain and Anna Mountain. The name "Emma Burr Mountain" appeared in publications in 1882.[7][8] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1963 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[1]

Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Emma Burr Mountain is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers.[9] Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter and as thunderstorms in summer, with a dry period in late spring. Climbers can expect afternoon rain, hail, and lightning from the seasonal monsoon in late July and August.
