About this map

Lemon Reservoir dominates the lower eastern landscape of this 2013 survey, fed from the north by the Florida River. Set within the high-elevation terrain of the San Juan National Forest, the area is characterized by a dense network of mountain drainage systems and named open parks. To the west, the prominent Missionary Ridge rises above several creek forks, while the northern reaches include geographic landmarks like Big Bear Park and Little Bear Park.

The map details an extensive system of wilderness access, including the Missionary Ridge Trail 543 and Shearer Creek Trail 558. Public recreation is concentrated around the reservoir and its tributaries at sites such as Lemon Dam Campground, Florida Campground, and the Upper Lemon Picnic Area. Higher-elevation basins like Carbonate Basin and summits such as Miller Mountain suggest the varied alpine geography found north of the Durango area.
