About this map

Lemon Reservoir anchors the southeastern reach of this high-elevation landscape, where the Florida River flows through the heart of the San Juan National Forest. The topography is defined by the massive spine of Missionary Ridge to the west and a series of high mountain parks, including Horse Thief Park, Wallace Park, and Kroeger Park. These named meadows and the surrounding peaks are connected by a dense network of forest service trails and primitive roads such as the Lime Mesa Trl and Shearer Creek Trl.

The drainage patterns are particularly intricate here, with numerous forks of Coon Cr and Shearer Cr carving deep into the terrain. High-altitude features like Stump Lakes and Lost Lake sit nestled near Stump Canyon, while the eastern edge is marked by the prominence of Miller Mtn and the Carbonate Basin. This 2022 survey documents a wilderness landscape managed for both preservation and recreational access through its complex system of named ridgelines and rim roads.
