2022 Map of Poncha Pass

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

Poncha Pass serves as a critical geographic transition point between the San Isabel National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest, marking the boundary between Chaffee and Saguache counties. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Sawatch Range, including Cleveland Mtn and Poncha Mtn. The northern reaches of the map show the settlement of Poncha Springs and the nearby Poncha Hot Springs, reflecting the area's long-standing draw for its geothermal features. High-altitude hydrology is evident throughout, from the headwaters of San Luis Cr and Poncha Cr to the isolated Salamander Lake. Transport through this demanding terrain is facilitated by U.S. Route 285 and a network of rugged paths like the Rainbow Trl and Simmons Peak Trl. The presence of the Granite Mountain Lodge Airport tucked into the mountain valleys highlights the modern intersection of wilderness and accessibility.
