About this map

Glade Mountain and its surrounding drainage systems define this mid-century landscape within the San Juan National Forest. The area is characterized by an intricate network of draws and creeks, including Disappointment Creek and Mc Kinney Creek, which flow through a terrain marked by distinctive geological features like The Hogback. The map documents a carefully managed upland environment where water resources are harnessed through numerous small catchments such as Snag Reservoir, McKinney Reservoir, and Beef Trail Reservoir.

A series of named springs, including Glade Mtn Spring, Bradfield Spring, and Manaugh Spring, suggest the critical importance of reliable water sources for both the forest service and local livestock operations. Atop the heights, a Lookout Tower serves as a silent sentinel for the forest, while a solitary Jeep Trail and unimproved roads provide the only access through the winding corridors of Cash Gulch and Willow Draw.
