About this map

McKenzie Junction serves as a primary navigational point within the eastern slopes of the Wet Mountains, where the canyon geography dictates the flow of modern roadways like Co RD 271 and Cold Springs Rd. The landscape is dominated by the massive profile of Hardscrabble Mtn and the surrounding San Isabel National Forest, characterized by a complex drainage system including N Hardscrabble Cr and Middle Hardscrabble Cr.

High-altitude landmarks such as Adobe Peak, Lead Mtn, and Rudolph Mtn rise above the deep gulches, while the local road network provides access to points like Cold Spring. The presence of the Lewis Creek Trl and the Middle Hardscrabble Trl suggests a terrain utilized for both forestry and recreation, maintaining a primitive character even as modern surveying defines the historic township lines of t21s r70w and t22s r69w.
