2013 Map of Bushnell Peak

About this map

Villa Grove sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, serving as a primary settlement point near the Villa Grove Cem and the junction of Us 285 N. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Sangre de Cristo Range, where the boundary between San Isabel National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest follows the jagged ridgeline between Saguache and Fremont counties. High-altitude landmarks like Bushnell Peak and Mount Otto overlook a network of drainage systems including San Luis Cr and Kerber Cr. The presence of several backcountry routes, such as the Bushnell Lakes Trail 1402 and Stout Creek Lakes Trail 1403, indicates a landscape largely preserved for conservation and recreation, while naming conventions like Euclid Gulch and Richie Gulch hint at the historical prospecting and ranching that once characterized these mountain canyons.
