About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Montrose and Ouray counties, where deep drainage systems like Happy Canyon and Dolores Canyon carve through the high terrain. The map documents a network of water sources vital to the region, including Branson Spring, Brown Spring, and the namesake Government Springs. High-altitude routes such as the Old Paradox Road and Dave Wood Road traverse the ridges, reflecting the area's history of movement through difficult mountain passes.
