About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this Saguache County landscape, where deep drainages and intermittent creeks carve through high-elevation terrain. The map identifies specific watercourses essential to understanding the local topography, including the winding path of Cottonwood Creek and the headwaters of San Juan Creek. In the northern reach, Fullerton Park provides a notable break in the drainage-heavy landscape near Poison Gulch.

The road network is characterized by remote county routes and forest service access, such as Co RD 39m and Lime Creek Road. These paths often follow the natural contours of the land, connecting landmarks like Red Rock Canyon and Sanderson Gulch. For researchers, the presence of specific family-named markers or local descriptors like Biedell Creek and the North Carnero Trail offers a detailed view of how this part of Colorado is navigated and managed.
