About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Rio Grande County, defined by a series of named peaks and drainage gulches. High points like Pup Peak, Limekiln Peak, and Dog Mtn anchor the terrain, while the northern slopes are marked by the Loma de San Jose ridgeline. The area is characterized by an extensive network of watercourses, including San Francisco Cr, Dry Cr, and the several branches of Raton Cr.

Tracing the routes through these canyons reveals a mix of forest service tracks and primitive trails. Notable pathways such as the Deadman Loop, Gopher Gulch Trail, and the Bonafacio Cutoff suggest a landscape used primarily for recreation and forest management. Deep within the drainage basins, features like Deadmans Cave Gulch, American Gulch, and Raton Park provide specific landmarks for those navigating this portion of the Colorado backcountry.
