About this map

The Rio Grande flows prominently through this high-altitude landscape on the border of Saguache and Rio Grande counties. The settlement of Hanna sits just south of the river, while the North River Road follows its northern bank, passing the prominent Indian Head formation. This terrain is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Old Woman Creek and several branches of Pinos Creek, all feeding into the central river valley.

Evidence of early infrastructure and activity is visible at the State Bridge and the Gaging Station, while the presence of a Lime Kiln and several Gravel Pits points to the extraction of local resources. For those tracing family ties to this corner of the Rio Grande National Forest, the map marks specific landmarks like Sanderson Spring and Bowen Spring, along with a solitary Grave south of the main river channel.
