About this map

The San Juan River and its multiple forks define this 2013 topographical study of the high country northeast of Pagosa Springs. The landscape is a complex network of ranching properties and water management features, including the Mesa Ditch, Park Ditch, and Snowball Extension Ditch, which redirect snowmelt across the terrain. These waterworks support established family holdings such as Saddleback Ranch, Hott Ranch, and the Three Quarter Circles Ranch.

Within the protected borders of the San Juan National Forest, the map details a rugged geography marked by Jackson Mountain and the deep Spruce Canyon. Transportation is anchored by US Hwy 160, while the backcountry is accessible via routes like the Willow Draw Trail 819 and the Snowball Connector Trail 818. Near the edge of the settlement, the Red Ryder Rodeo Grounds serves as a cultural landmark just outside the growing footprint of Pagosa Springs.
