2011 Map of Lime Creek

About this map

The Esperanza Claims Group Mine stands as a notable industrial marker in this high-elevation landscape of Saguache County, situated near Sanderson Gulch. This 2011 survey documents a rugged drainage network defined by the confluence of several key waterways, including Biedell Creek, Lime Creek, and Cottonwood Creek. The presence of Fullerton Park in the northwest and Red Rock Canyon in the northeast highlights the distinct topographic transitions of the area. A network of rural routes, such as County Hwy 41G and County Road N 42, provides the primary framework for navigating these drainages, where seasonal watercourses like Poison Gulch and Sawlog Creek carve through the terrain. The map captures a region primarily utilized for resource extraction and ranching, reflecting the enduring rural character of southern Colorado.
