About this map

Spook City and Bonita sit tucked within the high mountain terrain of the Rio Grande National Forest in Saguache County. This modern survey illustrates a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, ranging from the heights of Sheep Mtn and Bonita Hill down to the drainage networks of Little Kerber Cr and Ford Cr. The distribution of water sources is particularly dense in this area, with named points such as Garcia Spring, Bachich Spring, Mud Spring, and Alkali Spring scattered across the gulches.

Historical movement through the area is traced via paths like Ute Pass and the Poison Day Loop. The nomenclature of the drainages—including Lucky Boy Gulch, Greyback Gulch, and Euclid Gulch—hints at the prospecting history that once centered on the Klondike Mine region. This map serves as a primary reference for the intricate topography and named hydrology of this high-altitude Colorado interior.
