About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of western Colorado, where a complex network of forest trails and primitive roads crisscrosses the Uncompahgre Plateau. The area's history of cattle ranching and early commerce is evidenced by Burch Cow Camp in the northwest and the route of Old Highway 90. Numerous water sources, essential for both wildlife and historic range management, are recorded here, including Antone Spring, Spruce Spring, and Iron Spring.

The map reveals a deeply etched terrain defined by drainage systems like Roubideau Creek and the steep descents of Red Canyon and Little Red Canyon. Recreational and historic routes such as the Old Roubideau Trail, Paradox Trail, and Hornet Trail trace the ridges and valleys, while Reade Hill and the Raspberry Site serve as specific landmarks within the larger wilderness. This modern survey provides a detailed inventory of the high country between the Montrose and Ouray county line.
