About this map

San Juan National Forest defines the high-country landscape of this 2016 survey, where the Middle Fork Piedra River and East Fork Piedra River converge. The terrain is a complex network of ridges and parks, including Oakbrush Ridge, Burro Park, and O'Neal Park. Significant elevation markers such as Castle Rock, Rooster Rock, and The Notch punctuate the horizon, while local history is etched into the landscape through features like the Piedra Falls Ditch and Sally Overlook.

A network of remote access routes, such as the Piedra Stock Drive Trail and Williams Creek Trail, suggests a long-standing use of the land for livestock and movement through the Weminuche Valley. Hydrological features range from the small Chub Spring and Wainwright Spring to the larger Spring Creek Reservoir at the southeastern edge. This map documents a wilderness character preserved within the intersection of Mineral, Hinsdale, and Archuleta counties.
