About this map

Cotopaxi sits along the southern edge of this survey where the Arkansas River carves through the dramatic Arkansas River Canyon. The terrain north of the river is defined by a complex network of drainages and high peaks, including Garell Peak and Arkansas Mtn. This landscape is marked by numerous dry gulches such as Maverick Gulch and Red Gulch, which suggest the arid, high-altitude climate of Fremont County.

A web of modern and forest roads, including Co Rd 12 and McCoy Gulch Rd, provides access to the high country of Spruce Mtn and Bear Mtn. Traces of the region's land use and natural resources appear in features like Mud Spring and the aptly named Mine Gulch. Topographic details reveal the sharp elevation shifts from the river bottom to the summits of Falls Gulch Mtn and Cedar Springs Mtn, documenting the area's physical geography in the late twenty-first century.
