About this map

Brown Lakes Estates and the historic San Juan Ranch represent the primary human footprints in this high-altitude landscape within the Rio Grande National Forest. The map detail centers on a complex network of water management and natural drainage, where the waters of Clear Creek and its tributaries are harnessed by structures like the Spring Creek Reservoir and Road Canyon Reservoir No 1. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at North Clear Creek Falls and the deep cuts of Box Canyon and Long Canyon. Recreational and agricultural infrastructure is evident through the inclusion of a Boat Ramp and various 4wd tracks that provide access to the Weminuche Wilderness boundary. These trails and seasonal roads suggest a landscape primarily utilized for ranching, forest management, and backcountry exploration at the start of the 21st century.
