2016 Map of Baldy Cinco

About this map

Baldy Cinco rises as a central peak along the rugged ridge of the Continental Divide, where the high-altitude terrain of the San Juan Mountains creates a natural boundary between several Colorado counties. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the high country, with Rough Cr and the E Fork Cebolla Cr flowing north toward the Gunnison National Forest, while the southern slopes feed Willow Cr and Miner's Cr within the Rio Grande National Forest. The expansive Snow Mesa dominates the central portion of the map, a distinctive flat-topped feature that serves as a landmark for those traversing the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. Traces of the region's mining history are evident at Mineral Park, while recreational routes like the Skyline Trail and Willow Creek Trail follow traditional paths through this wilderness.
