2001 Map of Greenie Mountain

About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this section of the San Juan Mountains, where the high-altitude terrain is carved by the Alamosa River and numerous drainages like Cat Creek and Rock Creek. This 2001 revision highlights a landscape managed for both preservation and utility, featuring the Rock Creek Recreational Area alongside scattered industrial markers such as a Mine and Prospect near Poison Gulch. The map identifies localized centers of activity like Camp Val Verde, Lost Cabin Ranch, and the Phillips University Camp situated near the riverbanks. Administrative boundaries are clearly marked, including the Rio Grande Co Conejos Co line and the Silver Ninth Standard Parallel North, which provides a glimpse into the formal surveying structure used to parcel this mountain territory. Notable landmarks such as Greenie Mountain and Lion Point anchor the topography, while the Rock Creek Trail and Comstock Trail trace historic routes through the gulches.
