About this map

The Continental Divide snake-like path through the high country of Colorado defines this 1980s landscape, separating the headwaters of the Gunnison National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest. The map centers on the high-altitude expanse of Snow Mesa, a distinct plateau-like feature north of Miners Creek. At an elevation exceeding 13,000 feet, Baldy Cinco stands as a prominent landmark on the wilderness boundary. The presence of Prospects on the eastern edge of the survey near Mineral Creek suggests localized mineral exploration, while an intricate network of pack trails, including the Cebolla Trail and the Skyline Trail, indicates a landscape primarily accessible by foot or horse. These routes connect points like Mineral Park and Crystal Lake, highlighting the traditional transportation patterns of the La Garita Wilderness before modern road development touched these high peaks.
