About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Mineral and Rio Grande counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent flats and basins, including Coal Mine Park, Kelly Park, and Corral Park, which provide accessible openings between heavily wooded ridges. The South Fork Rio Grande cuts through the northern portion of the map, fed by a network of drainage systems like Decker Cr and Goodrich Cr.

Evidence of historical land use and early resource exploration is visible in the naming of features such as Coal Mine Park and the extensive system of primitive routes like the Tewksberry Trl. The map also details several high-country water features, ranging from the sizeable Million Reservoir in the north to the isolated Rudifor Lake and Metroz Lake. Significant topographic landmarks such as Demijohn Peak, Handkerchief Mesa, and Ribbon Mesa provide clear navigational markers for those tracing historical backcountry activity.
