About this map

San Isabel National Forest dominates this mountain landscape along the border of Custer and Huerfano counties. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainages, including Saint Charles River and the various forks of Bear Creek. The map shows a network of named gulches and canyons, such as Ute Log Gulch, Wylie Gulch, and Cottonwood Canyon, which intersect the high ridges.

Isolated water sources like Blue Spring and named landmarks such as Little Horn and Devils Hole provide specific points of interest for navigating this high-elevation environment. Transportation into these reaches is facilitated by specialized routes including Greenhorn Road (Snow), Pole Creek Spur, and access to Horse Ranch, reflecting the modern land management and recreational infrastructure of the Sangre de Cristo foothills.
