About this map

The Continental Divide snake through this high-altitude landscape of Saguache County, forming the literal and figurative backbone of the region. The map highlights the intersection of the Gunnison National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest, where the terrain drops from summits like Table Mountain into drainage basins including Cochetopa Creek and the North Fork Saguache Creek. A significant portion of the southern area is dedicated to the La Garita Wilderness, a designation that reflects the preserved nature of the high peaks and deep valleys like Cañon Hondo.
