About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest encompasses the southwestern portion of this landscape, where high-elevation plateaus are bisected by a network of drainage systems. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosion, featuring deep incisions such as Unaweep Canyon and Jacks Canyon. These natural corridors dictate the path of human movement through the region, most notably via Divide Rd and Co-141, which wind along the canyon floors and ridgelines.

Named geographical features like Nancy Hanks Gulch, Taylor Gulch, and Gibbler Mountain provide specific points of reference for the land's relief. In the southeast, the terrain drops toward Dominguez Canyon and the waters of Big Dominguez Cr. This 2013 survey also details recreational infrastructure within the forest, including the Rocky Pitch Loop Trail 2664.0, reflecting a landscape managed for both its natural resources and wilderness access.
