About this map

San Isabel National Forest encompasses the northeastern portion of this mountain landscape, where the W Fork N Fork Purgatoire River begins its descent. The terrain is defined by the high peaks of the Culebra Range, including Mount Maxwell, Maraquita Peak, and Beaubien Peak. This area in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains serves as a critical watershed, feeding numerous creeks such as El Valle Cr, Whiskey Cr, and Bernardino Cr.

Evidence of high-altitude travel is found along Whiskey Pass Rd, which navigates the gap at Whiskey Pass. The map detail highlights several alpine water bodies, including Strawberry Lake, Lost Lake, and Carneros Lake near the southern boundary. The county line between Costilla and Las Animas counties runs north-to-south through the center of the survey, bisecting the remote ridges of Lomo Liso Mountain and Miranda Peak.
