2013 Map of Coaldale

About this map

Coaldale and Pleasanton occupy the northern reaches of this high-altitude landscape, situated along the Arkansas River and US-50. The terrain is defined by the intersection of three counties—Fremont, Saguache, and Custer—where the San Isabel National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest meet. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape of deep canyons and prominent peaks, including Galena Peak and Nipple Mountain. The backcountry is interlaced with a significant trail network, notably the long-stretching Rainbow Trail 1336 and the Black Canyon Trail 754, which facilitates movement through the Hayden Pass corridor. Resource extraction is noted at a Quarry near Steel Canyon, while recreational access is anchored by the Hayden Creek Campground along the Hayden Creek Road drainage.
