2016 Map of Lost Lake

About this map

The Uncompahgre National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape, where the Little Cimarron River and its numerous tributaries carve through the Colorado terrain. The map documents a sophisticated water management system through features like the Butte Ditch, McKinley Ditch, and Big Blue Ditch, which divert alpine flows across the mesas. Named parks such as Grasshopper Park, Johnson Park, and Coyote Park indicate significant clearings among the timber, often used for seasonal grazing or as landmarks for those navigating the backcountry.
