About this map

Pagosa Peak dominates this high-elevation landscape of the San Juan Mountains, serving as the topographical anchor for a complex network of canyons and alpine basins. The western portion is defined by the East Fork Piedra River, which drops over Piedra Falls near the Minor Notch Ranch. Human activity is concentrated along established forest routes like Co RD 645, where the Cade Ranch sits near the headwaters of Cade Creek.

Evidence of historical resource extraction appears at the Jim Tree Mine on the slopes of Black Mountain. To the south, the Spring Creek Reservoir and its associated Spring Creek Reservoir Gulch indicate managed water resources. The eastern terrain is marked by high-altitude features like Quien Sabe Mountain and the Fourmile Trailhead, providing access to remote locations such as Upper Fourmile Lake and Turkey Creek Lake.
