About this map

Sheep Mountain and the surrounding high country of the Rio Grande National Forest dominate this landscape on the border of Saguache and Mineral Counties. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system including Middle Fork Saguache Cr and S Fork Saguache Cr, alongside numerous smaller tributaries like Wannamaker Cr and Whale Cr.

Evidence of early 21st-century back-country access is visible through an extensive network of named forest service trails, such as Halfmoon Pass Trail 912 and Coyote Trail 915. Significant geological features like Palmer Mesa, Cañon Nieve, and the heights of the La Garita Mountains provide a detailed look at the topography near Mesa Mountain. Small water bodies like Laguna Hilda punctuates the high-altitude landscape.
