2011 Map of Chimney Rock

About this map

The Chimney Rock Archeological Area stands as the central landmark of this terrain, marking a site of significant cultural and historical importance. Nearby, the presence of the Chimney Rock Coal Mine points to the area's more recent industrial history, while the Chimney Rock Post Office serves the small settlement of Piedra. The landscape is defined by the Piedra River and its numerous tributaries, including Stollsteimer Creek and Devil Creek, which cut through the canyons and gulches. To the south, the settlement of Stollsteimer is situated near the confluence of several waterways. Water management and recreation are evident at the Pargin Reservoir and its associated Pargin Dam, alongside Capote Lake. This modern survey details the network of U.S. Forest Service roads, such as Usfs 617 and Usfs 627, which provide access to campgrounds like Lower Piedra Campground and Navajo Trail Campground.
