About this map

San Juan National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of several critical drainages originate. The geography is anchored by a series of prominent summits including Granite Peak, Three Sisters Peaks, and Runlett Peak, which separate the deep canyons of the Los Pinos River from the eastern basins. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern trail and water network through the area, tracing the Pine River Trl and the First Fork Trl as they navigate the steep elevation changes.

The presence of Beaver Meadows and Runlett Park suggests the specialized natural clearings and meadowlands that exist among the peaks. Water resources are localized at points like Coyote Basin Spring and along tributaries such as Coldwater Cr and Trout Cr. The map reveals a wilderness area shaped by its hydrography and topography rather than human settlement, serving as a contemporary record of the Hinsdale Co backcountry.
