About this map

Southern Ute Indian Reservation lands dominate the southern half of this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is carved by a complex network of drainages. The small settlement of Altura sits at the center of the sheet, positioned near the divide between the reservation and the San Juan National Forest. Historical land use is evident in the transition from the Devil Creek State Wildlife Area in the northwest to the livestock-oriented Piedra Stock Trail traversing the rugged canyons.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Stollsteimer Creek and its many tributaries, including Hall Canyon and Hurt Canyon, shaping the steep slopes. A lone Cem (cemetery) and a localized Gravel Pit indicate the small-scale human footprint in this area during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Notable peaks like Haystack Mountain and Broken Off Point serve as prominent landmarks amidst the winding courses of Lonetree Creek and Cat Canyon.
