Engineer Mountain dominates the high-altitude landscape where the boundaries of San Juan and La Plata counties meet. This 2013 survey documents a region defined by recreational development and transit, centered on the corridor of the Million Dollar Hwy. In the southern portion of the map, the Purgatory Ski Area and Purgatory Campground signify the area's modern identity as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The map preserves the locations of established residential and utility sites like the Cascade Summer Home Group and Harris Ranch. Extensive trail networks, including the Rico - Silverton Trail / Colorado Trail 507 and Engineer Mountain Trail 508, weave through San Juan National Forest, connecting high peaks such as Grayrock Peak with alpine water bodies like Potato Lake and Scout Lake.
