About this map

Pagosa Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape within the San Juan National Forest, where the border of Mineral and Archuleta counties meets. The map illustrates a complex network of water management and alpine drainage, featuring the Piedra Falls Ditch and Dutton Ditch alongside natural features like Upper Fourmile Lake and Rainbow Lake. Evidence of human passage through this high country is marked by the Fourmile Stock Drive Trail and the notable Steel Bridge spanning a local drainage.

Prominent summits including Spruce Mtn, Black Mtn, and Quien Sabe Mtn define the sharp relief, while unique geological markers like The Keyhole and Monk Rock provide specific landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. This 2016 survey captures the area's essential character as a preserved wilderness defined by its watersheds, from Gordon Cr to Turkey Cr, and its established routes like the Anderson Trail.
