About this map

Hermosa Creek flows southward through the heart of this high-elevation mountain terrain, forming a central drainage network within the San Juan National Forest. Surveyed in the late 1950s and updated in the 1970s, the map reveals a wilderness landscape shaped by water and primitive transport routes. The convergence of numerous named tributaries, including Big Bend Creek, Salt Creek, and the dual forks of North Hope Creek and South Hope Creek, illustrates the complex hydrology of the La Plata region.
