About this map

The eastern front of the Sangre de Cristo Range rises sharply from the Wet Mountain Valley in this survey of south-central Colorado. The high-altitude landscape is dominated by the peaks of the San Isabel National Forest, including the prominent Horn Peak, Comanche Peak, and Mt Adams. A complex network of backcountry trails, such as the Rainbow Trail and Venable Trail, provides access to the alpine interior where Venable Lakes, Horn Lakes, and Macey Lake are located.

Drainage systems like Cottonwood Cr and Macey Cr flow eastward toward the valley floor, passing features like Venable Falls and Macey Falls. The transition from the high wilderness to the settled valley is marked by the community of Tanglewood Acres and rural routes such as Schoolfield Rd and Columbine Dr. This map documents the boundary between the high peaks of Custer and Saguache counties, where the divide separates the San Isabel and Rio Grande National Forest.
