About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in southwestern Colorado, where the Continental Divide influences a complex network of alpine drainage systems. The Western edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Weminuche Wilderness, a protected area of high peaks including Metroz Mountain and Table Mountain. Water management and natural hydrology are central to the terrain, featuring the Big Meadow Reservoir and several high-elevation bodies like Shaw Lake and Hunters Lake. The South Fork Rio Grande cuts through the southeastern corner, flanked by Route 160 as it begins its climb toward the pass. This 1986 survey captures the area's transition into modern recreational and conservation use, noted by the presence of a Campground and multiple Roadside Park locations along the river corridor, while the higher reaches remain largely accessible only via the Weminuche Wilderness Boundary pack trails.
