2020 Map of Chromo Mountain

About this map

The Continental Divide defines the spine of this territory along the border of Archuleta and Rio Arriba counties, where high-altitude drainage systems flow toward both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The northern edge of the map follows the Colorado and New Mexico state line, marking a boundary through the San Juan Mountains. Water is the defining characteristic of this landscape, from the headwaters of Rio Chamita and Nabor Cr to the alpine pockets of Beaver Lake and Las Ranas Lake.
