About this map

North Pass and Cochetopa Pass define this high-altitude corridor along the Continental Divide in Saguache County. This 2019 survey captures the convergence of the Gunnison National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest, split by the winding route of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The landscape is dominated by the Cochetopa Hills and deep drainages like Taylor Canyon and Rabbit Canyon.

Hydrological features are central to the terrain, with Luder's Creek flowing toward Mouds Bottom in the south, while northern slopes drain through Sumora Cr and Slane Cr. Notable landmarks such as Spanish Bear and Cliff overlook a network of seasonal streams including Archuleta Cr and Cantonment Cr. This map provides a contemporary record of the land use and topographic character of this remote mountain pass system.
