About this map

Baldy Mountain and its surrounding canyons define this high-altitude landscape along the border of La Plata Co and Archuleta Co. The territory is part of the San Juan National Forest, where a complex network of forest routes such as the Pine Piedra Trail and Baldy Loop Trail crisscross the terrain. Water sources are critical features in this environment, represented by numerous named springs like Moonlick Spring Number 1, Mexican Spring, and Hidden Spring.

In the southern reaches of the map, Yellowjacket Pass provides a significant transit point near Hayden Reservoir Number 1. Small clearings and flatlands like Arbogos Flats, Ute Park, and Klondike Park stand out against the steep drainage systems of Jungle Canyon and Rocky Canyon. Evidence of human utility appears via the Relay Station and a Seismograph station, while the Medicine Mine Trail suggests the area's history of resource exploration.
