1973 Map of Cimarrona Peak

About this map

The Continental Divide Trail snakes across the high ridges of the Weminuche Wilderness area in the early 1970s, marking the boundary between the Rio Grande National Forest and San Juan National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its water system, where the headwaters of the Piedra River and its various forks descend toward the Williams Creek Reservoir. The presence of several distinct recreation sites, such as Cimarrona Campground and Middle Fork Hunter Campground, indicates the area's significance for seasonal public access and resource management.
