About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Saguache and Rio Grande counties. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems and clearings, notably La Garita Park and Groundhog Park, which break the forested terrain. Significant water sources like Pine Cone Spring, High Spring, and Shorty Spring are vital markers in this environment, supporting a complex web of named creeks including La Garita Cr and Embargo Cr.

Navigation through the peaks and canyons is facilitated by established routes such as the La Garita Creek Trl and Cathedral Trl. These paths connect prominent landmarks like Cathedral Rock, Lone Rock, and Pine Cone Knob, while Milk Cow Pass provides a crossing point between watersheds. The map details the transition between various mountain features, from the depths of Horse Canyon to the elevation of Cyclone Mtn.
