About this map

Fort Narraguinnep Historical Site serves as a focal point for this high-altitude landscape in the San Juan National Forest, where the complex water management of the Colorado plateau is clearly visible. The terrain is defined by dramatic cuts like Narraguinnep Canyon and Cabin Canyon, while a dense network of small catchments such as Brumley Reservoir and Hosea Reservoir illustrate how early ranchers and land managers captured seasonal runoff in the high country.

The presence of numerous named water sources, from Indian Spring to the larger Narraguinnep Reservoir, suggests a long history of agricultural and livestock dependency in the Dolores and Montezuma County borderlands. Beyond the hydrology, the map tracks a transition from primary routes like Ormiston Road to more remote tracks labeled 4wd and Pack, leading toward landmarks like Narraguinnep Mountain and Elston Mountain.
