About this map

San Isabel National Forest dominates the western half of this Huerfano County landscape, where high-elevation drainage patterns transition into the canyon-carved plains. The terrain is defined by a series of significant watercourses and geographic markers, most notably Hayden Butte and the deep cut of Pole Canyon in the southern reaches. Numerous arroyos and creeks, such as Pope Arroyo and Greasewood Arroyo, illustrate the arid hydrology of the region, carrying runoff from the mountains towards the eastern flats.

Local landmarks and family-named features are preserved in labels like Chitwood Br S Apache Cr and Mexican Springs Br Greasewood Arroyo. The drainage network is particularly dense here, featuring the N Apache Cr and the cascading Apache Falls, which highlight the dramatic shifts in elevation found near the forest boundary. Rural transit is marked by a network of county roads including Co RD 650 and Co RD 671, providing access to this varied high-plains environment.
