About this map

Chromo Mtn anchors this high-altitude landscape along the Colorado and New Mexico border, where the Continental Divide winds through the high ridges of Rio Arriba and Archuleta counties. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex water management systems of the region, featuring the subterranean path of the Azotea Tunl and the M B Ditch near the settlement of Willow Creek.

The area is defined by its numerous alpine water bodies and drainage patterns, from Clydes Corral Lake and Clydes Cona Lake in the north to the network of creeks like Spring Cr and Estufa Cr feeding into larger basins. Notable landforms such as Stove Ridge and Tuck Canyon provide a detailed look at the physical geography of the San Juan Mountains before the terrain descends toward the southern plains.
