2016 Map of Mount Wilson

About this map

Mount Wilson and the San Miguel Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the San Juan National Forest and Uncompahgre National Forest. The map documents a rugged alpine region shaped by glacial activity and early industrial utility, notably the Illium Flume and a Coal Mine near Barlow Lake. Water sources like Trout Lake and the upper reaches of the Dolores River are central to the terrain, which is intersected by a complex network of historic routes including the Galloping Goose Trail and the Lizard Head Trail. High mountain passes such as Lizard Head Pass serve as critical transit points between the steep basins of Navajo Basin and Bilk Basin. This survey provides a precise record of the peaks and drainage patterns that define the San Miguel and Dolores county line.
