About this map

Greenie Mountain rises above a landscape defined by high-elevation parks and the drainage basins of the Alamosa River and South Fork Creek. During the late 1960s, this area of the Rio Grande National Forest supported seasonal mountain activities, evident in the presence of Phillips University Camp, Camp Val Verde, and several Forest Service sites like Alamosa Campground and Comstock Campground.

A network of specialized routes, including the Stock Driveway, Ranger Trail, and numerous pack trails, suggests a working landscape of timber management and livestock movement. Remote outposts such as Lost Cabin Ranch and isolated water sources like Shillings Spring are documented alongside earlier resource extraction, marked simply by a Mine and Prospect located near Poison Gulch. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like The Canyon and Negro Gulch, reflecting the complex topography near the border of Rio Grande and Conejos Counties.
