2001 Map of Horseshoe Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2005

About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this high-country landscape, where complex drainage networks carve through the southern Colorado peaks. Steep-walled canyons such as Barriclause Canyon and Munger Canyon drop toward the valley floors, defining the geography of the high forest. A Gaging Station on Los Pinos Creek indicates the importance of water management in this arid alpine environment, while the presence of a Pipeline and numerous 4WD tracks suggest a landscape utilized for modern utility and resource access alongside recreation. Extensive trail systems, including the Bennett Trail and Frisco Trail, provide access to landmarks like Horseshoe Mountain and the high basin of Horseshoe Park. To the south, the terrain rises toward Poison Mountain, overlooking the headwaters of Raton Creek and the intricate forks of San Francisco Creek, illustrating the remote and hydrological character of this portion of the Rio Grande basin.
