2001 Map of Grouse Creek

About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this Saguache County landscape, where the historical Wagon Wheel Cut-Off Tr winds through the terrain. The hydrological network is defined by Saguache Creek and its many tributaries, including Fourmile Creek, Moon Creek, and Duckfoot Creek. Notable elevation markers like Hat Mountain and depressions such as Andys Hole punctuate the high-altitude geography. The map traces several specialized paths, including the Fourmile Trail and Trough Trail, which served as vital access routes through areas like California Gulch and Lost Park. These trails and named gulches reflect a legacy of land use and transit prior to modern development, while the presence of Hat Springs indicates the importance of natural water sources in this environment.
