About this map

Yellowjacket Pass serves as a prominent geographic marker in this section of the San Juan National Forest, where the border between La Plata and Archuleta counties bisects a landscape of high summits and intricate canyon systems. The map details a network of forest access routes, including the Baldy Loop and numerous timber or winter trails such as First Notch Winter (Snow).

Named springs like Moonlick Spring Number 1, Mountain Lion Spring, and Mexican Spring indicate the critical importance of water sources in this elevated terrain. Settlement patterns are sparse, represented by open areas like Arbogas Flats, Klondike Park, and Ute Park. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears at the Medicine Mine near Baldy Mtn and a Relay Station along the southern ridges, reflecting the area's history of resource extraction and communication development.
