2016 Map of Hayden Butte

About this map

San Isabel National Forest dominates the western portion of this Huerfano County landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and arroyos. The map reveals a transition from the forested peaks to the open drainage basins of the east, anchored by the prominent Hayden Butte. This area serves as a significant drainage hub for several watercourses, including the N Apache Cr and S Apache Cr, which merge to form Apache Cr. The presence of several established routes such as the Bartlett Trail, Apache Falls Trail, and S Apache Trail indicates the historical importance of these corridors for navigating the steep elevation changes near Apache Falls. To the southeast, the landscape opens into broad washes like the Mexican Springs Br Greasewood Arroyo and Greasewood Arroyo, reflecting the arid drainage patterns of the Colorado high desert.
