About this map

Sawpit sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the San Miguel River carves through the terrain below Specie Mesa. Much of the area is contained within the Uncompahgre National Forest, characterized by prominent peaks and expansive mesas. The namesake Little Cone dominates the central portion of the map, while Flat Top Peak rises to the south near the Silver Pick Basin.

Water management and natural drainage are central to the region's geography, evidenced by the Hughes Ditch system winding across the slopes. The map traces the paths of Fall Creek and Specie Cr as they navigate the dramatic elevation changes between Wilson Mesa and the surrounding basins. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by ranch roads and forest access routes like Top Of The World Dr, illustrating the remote character of San Miguel County.
