2016 Map of Poison Draw

About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest encompasses the southern portion of this landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent through the high country. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south drainage systems, including Willow Cr and Pine Cr, which have carved deep features like Poison Draw and Sandy Draw into the plateau. Hydrological features such as Lake Arrowhead Reservoir and the Lake Fork provide key water sources in this arid environment, supplemented by scattered alpine water points like Armitage Springs and Addington Springs. A network of forest roads and trails, including Kebler Trl and Slumgullion Trl, traces the complex topography of Willow Creek Mesa and the surrounding draws, reflecting the area's use for resource management and backcountry transit.
