About this map

The dramatic prominence of Lone Cone dominates this portion of the San Juan National Forest and Uncompahgre National Forest boundary. This high country landscape is defined by its complex water management systems, featuring the Lilylands Canal, Last Chance Ditch, and Lilylands Intake which divert water across the varying elevations. These engineering works support several bodies of water, including Miramonte Reservoir and Stockdale Reservoir.

The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks and draws, such as Busted Arm Draw and Piele Draw, which run through the northern sections. Settled areas and cattle-rearing history are hinted at by names like Greager Flats, Nellies Flats, and the Beef Trail Road Trl. The map also captures several points of interest for those tracking family names or local lore, such as Nelson Springs, Preachers Hole, and the uniquely named Devils Chair located near the San Miguel and Dolores county line.
