About this map

Rio Grande National Forest defines much of this high-elevation landscape in the late 1960s, where a network of gulches and creeks drains toward the south. The terrain is marked by significant natural landmarks such as Castle Rock and Houghland Hill, while smaller human interventions indicate localized activity. A Mine and Gravel Pit appear alongside drainage features like Ford Gulch and Mill Gulch, suggesting early industrial interests in the local geology.

Water management and transportation are evident through the Gaging Sta along Saguache Creek and the presence of a Pipeline cutting through the valleys. For those tracing family history or early settlements, the Jacks Creek Cem remains a primary waypoint in the northern half of the map, situated near the banks of Jacks Creek. The area is accessible primarily via Jeep Trails that wind through the rugged topography of Chico Gulch and Lone Tree Gulch.
