2019 Map of Cold Spring Park
USGS Topo · Published 2019About this map
Gunnison National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Saguache County, where a sophisticated network of early water management features defines the terrain. The presence of the Tarbell and Alexander Ditch, Smith Ford Ditch, and Perry Ditch illustrates the vital role of irrigation in this semi-arid region of the Colorado Rockies. These man-made channels divert water from natural courses like Cochetopa Cr and Los Pinos Cr to support local uses. Large open areas such as Cold Spring Park and Sanderson Park are situated among a complex system of drainage gulches, including Poison Gulch and Simmons Gulch. The inclusion of McDonough Reservoir Number 2 and Simmons Spring highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources for both the forest ecosystem and the surrounding ranching country.
