2022 Map of Elk Creek

About this map

San Juan National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the Continental Divide in southwest Colorado. The territory is dominated by the complex drainage systems of Hermosa Cr and its many tributaries, including Salt Creek and the S Fork Hermosa Cr. This modern survey details a network of backcountry routes such as the Corral Draw Trl and the Hermosa Creek Trl, which provide access to interior features like Blind Canyon and the depressions known as North Hole and South Hole. The map also captures the eastern edge of the Montezuma and La Plata county line. Local landmarks like Hermosa Park and Entrance Draw serve as important reference points for those navigating the creek-carved terrain of the t38n r9w and t39n r10w townships.
