About this map

The mountain outpost of Dunton and the nearby Dunton-Hot Spring anchor this high-elevation landscape along the West Dolores River. This terrain is defined by the massive summits of the San Miguel Mountains, including Dolores Peak, Fowler Peak, and the soaring El Diente Peak. The map captures a transition between the Uncompahgre National Forest to the north and the San Juan National Forest to the south, divided by the San Miguel and Dolores county line.

A network of high-country trails like the Navajo Lake Trail and Kilpacker Basin Trail connect remote alpine features such as Navajo Lake and the Silver Pick Basin. Water management is evident in the presence of the Tom Akin Reservoir, Cold Reservoir, and Divide Reservoir. This 2022 survey documents a landscape where primitive stock driveways and forest roads remain the primary conduits through the timbered slopes and glacial basins.
