2022 Map of Bowers Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

The Rio Grande National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the La Garita Mountains, where the Continental Divide’s influence is felt through a complex network of drainages and peaks. Bowers Peak and Boot Mtn serve as the primary topographical anchors, surrounded by a dense system of historic forest trails. These routes, including the Bower's Peak Trl and the La Garita Creek Trl, trace the same difficult terrain navigated by early surveyors and forest rangers. The map reveals a land defined by its water sources, from California Gulch in the north to Groundhog Cr in the south. The inclusion of La Garita Park suggests a transition from steep timberline slopes to the more open, high-meadow grazing areas utilized during the era. This document preserves the exact trail alignments and watershed names essential for understanding the seasonal movement and resource management in this corner of the Colorado high country.
