About this map

Pagosa Springs anchors the southwest corner of this mountain terrain, where the San Juan River flows through a valley defined by significant water management and forest service activity. The 1984 survey reveals a landscape integrated into the San Juan National Forest, featuring the Guard Sta and several hydrological controls like the Echo Ditch and Rio Blanco Ditch. Cultural landmarks near the town include the Rodeo Ground and a Sewage Disposal Pond, reflecting local infrastructure during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Steep topography rises toward Jackson Mountain and Laughlin Park, with numerous drainage systems such as Snowball Creek, Fawn Gulch, and Turkey Creek carving the slopes. The map traces the New Mexico Principal Meridian and reveals resource extraction via a Gas Well and scattered prospects. Evidence of local travel and recreation is found in the network of jeep trails and pack trails that lead to high-elevation points and the northern Campground.
