2022 Map of Pine Mountain

About this map

The Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this section of the Uncompahgre Plateau, characterized by its deep canyons and prominent mesas. Unaweep Canyon and Yellowjacket Canyon cut through the northern terrain, while Tenderfoot Mesa rises above the dramatic descent into Maverick Canyon to the west. This landscape is defined by an intricate network of backcountry trails and forest roads, including the Ute Creek Trl and Cow Creek Trl, which provide access to isolated water features such as Rim Pond, Far Pond, and Big Pond. The topography reflects the high-altitude environment of Mesa County, where drainages like Calamity Cr and Cow Cr have carved significant features into the plateau. The map details various forest service routes such as 11 3/10 Rd, tracing the movement of land management and recreation through this protected wilderness.
