2016 Map of Pagosa Junction

About this map

Pagosa Junction and Gato serve as the primary focal points of this southern Colorado landscape, situated along the winding course of the San Juan River. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including Cat Creek and the Navajo River, which carve deep through the surrounding highlands. Significant geological features such as Monte Camado and the Cat Creek Gap dominate the northern and central sections, while the southern border extends into the Carson National Forest. The map documents a rugged rural infrastructure connected by several Indian Routes, including Indian Rte 161 and Indian Rte 152, reflecting the unique administrative and cultural history of this borderland area between Colorado and New Mexico.
