About this map

The San Isabel National Forest and Great Sand Dunes National Preserve meet along a dramatic ridgeline where Custer, Saguache, and Huerfano counties converge. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its series of prominent peaks, including Beck Mtn, Snowslide Mtn, and Blizzardine Peak. The transition from the rugged crest to the Wet Mountain Valley in the northeast is documented through a network of watercourses like Grape Cr and Cottonwood Cr, and man-made features such as the Hudson Ditch.

High-country travel is centered on historical corridors like the Rainbow Trl and Music Pass, providing access to distinct localities like Loco Park and Loco Hill. The map also captures the headwaters of numerous creeks, such as Middle Colony Cr and S Muddy Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology that feeds the surrounding valleys. Points of interest like Crystal Falls and the geographic markers at Mid Knob and Carbon Hill further delineate this protected wilderness area.
