About this map

San Isabel National Forest dominates this section of the Wet Mountains, where the boundary between Custer and Huerfano counties runs through a landscape defined by deep drainages and high peaks. The headwaters of the Saint Charles River emerge in the northeast, while the central corridor is carved by Williams Cr and its tributaries, including E Fork Williams Cr and Deer Lick Cr.

Evidence of early land use and topographic landmarks are scattered across the terrain, from the isolated Blue Spring to the prominent heights of Little Horn. Navigational routes like the Greenhorn Road Trl and Horse Ranch Trl cut across the ridges, providing access to remote areas like Devils Hole and Reveille Canyon. The southwestern portion of the map reveals a series of named ravines such as Ute Log Gulch, Wylie Gulch, and Reed Gulch, which descend toward Cottonwood Canyon.
