About this map

The settlement of Jasper occupies a high-altitude bend of the Alamosa River, positioned near the southern boundary of the Rio Grande National Forest. This 2016 survey documents a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, where peaks like Bennett Peak and Silver Mtn overlook a complex network of glacial and volcanic terrain. The map detail highlights significant water features, including the San Francisco Lakes to the north and the secluded Cliff Lake to the southwest.

A network of pack and foot trails, such as the Silver Mountain Trail and the Frisco Fitton Trail, provides the primary access to the high basins and passes. Notable landmarks like Cornwalls Nose and the steep California Gulch define the local topography. This map captures the modern recreational and conservation footprint of the San Juan Mountains, showing the interface between the Rio Grande and Conejos county lines through the heart of the national forest.
