About this map

Rio de los Pinos and its numerous tributaries, including Cumbres Creek and Wolf Creek, carve through this high-elevation landscape in the Southern Rockies. The topography is defined by significant mountain passes and peaks, most notably Cumbres Pass near the settlement of Cumbres, and La Manga Pass to the north. These corridors have historically served as vital transit routes through the San Juan Mountains.

Water management and seasonal land use are evident in the presence of the Trujillo Meadows Reservoir and Trujillo Meadows Dam, alongside specialized settlements like the La Manga Cow Camp and the La Manga Summer Home Group. From the heights of Pinorealosa Mountain and Neff Mountain to the localized waters of Waterdog Lake and Garcia Lake, the map illustrates a region where seasonal grazing, recreation, and water storage define the human footprint on the land.
