2013 Map of Nipple Mountain

About this map

San Juan National Forest defines the high-country landscape of the Colorado Rockies in this 2013 survey, where water management and ranching intersect. The map detail centers on Nipple Mountain and the extensive plateau of Stoner Mesa, providing a look at the numerous man-made water features required for land use in this terrain, including Big Reservoir, Lila Reservoir, and Quakie Reservoir. The West Dolores River cuts through the southeastern corner, supported by several recreation sites such as West Dolores Campground and Mavreeso Campground. Land use is further illustrated by the presence of King Ranch and various cattle-related infrastructure labels. Topographically, the map traces the dramatic drop from Taylor Mesa into the deep cut of Mavreeso Canyon, while naming several family-associated landmarks like Hugh Ray Flats and McEwen Reservoir.
