2022 Map of Orphan Butte

About this map

The San Juan National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape where the Dolores River cuts through the northern reaches. This 2022 survey details a complex network of forest trails and water management features crucial to the region's geography. Water is directed and stored in several mountain catchments, including Last Chance Reservoir, Point Reservoir, and Ridgetop Reservoir, while numerous seasonal drainages like Rough Canyon and Pasture Gulch feed into the primary river system. Distinctive geological landmarks such as Orphan Butte and Devil Point rise above the drainage basins. Cultural and recreational history is preserved in the naming of the Indian Trail and the School House Trl, reflecting the long-standing use of these routes through the Bear Creek Basin and toward Echo Park.
