About this map

The Rio Grande National Forest dominates this landscape, characterized by a complex network of high-elevation parks and deep drainages. In the south, the Alamosa River cuts through the terrain near The Canyon, while further north, the prominent peak of Greenie Mtn stands near Horse Park. The geography is defined by its water system, with Cat Creek, Willow Cr, and the three forks of Rock Cr carving distinct paths through the forest. Notable landmarks such as Bishop Rock and Lion Point offer specific points of orientation within the rugged topography.

Local navigation and history are tied to the numerous named trails and gulches that lace the region. Significant routes like the Silver Mtn Trl, North Rock Trl, and Alamosa Rock Trl connect various summits and parks. The presence of Shillings Spring and the varied gulches, including Negro Gulch, Poison Gulch, and Scherer Gulch, suggest a landscape shaped by both natural water sources and the historical movement of people through this corner of Rio Grande County.
