About this map

Del Norte Peak towers over this section of the Rio Grande National Forest, a landscape defined by sharp drainage basins and high-elevation parklands. The 2001 revision illustrates a complex network of forest management and recreation, where the Cross Creek Trail and Shady Creek Trail navigate between prominent landforms like Hogback Mesa and Beaver Mountain.

Lower elevations reveal the human imprint on the timber and ranching landscape, notably at Ruston Park and the aptly named Double Cabins Park. Water sources are numerous, with the headwaters of Willow Creek, Wolf Creek, and Shaw Creek carving deep into the terrain. A modern Pipeline and a specific Gravel Pit near Schrader Creek show the ongoing utility of these public lands at the start of the 21st century.
