About this map

The Piedra River carves a deep path through this portion of the San Juan National Forest in Archuleta County. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the significant elevation gains between the river valley and prominent peaks such as Devil Mountain and Mule Mountain. The presence of the Piedra River Hot Springs along the river's edge suggests a geologically active corridor, while the naming of Devils Hole and First Box Canyon points to the challenging topography encountered by early travelers and forest rangers.

Water sources are critical markers in this terrain, as evidenced by the distribution of Snow Springs, Farrow Spring, and Mesa Spring Number 1. For the modern visitor or researcher, the map details specialized access routes including Monument Park ATV and Monument Park Winter (Snow) trails, which converge near the designated Monument Park area. These labels reflect the ongoing management of the forest for both recreation and conservation.
