About this map

Rio Grande National Forest encloses this high-altitude landscape at the intersection of Saguache, Mineral, and Rio Grande Counties. The terrain is characterized by a series of high mountain parks—flat meadows or clearings amidst the timber—including Pool Table Park, Divide Park, and Middle Park. These open spaces are separated by significant landmarks like Pool Table Mountain and the La Garita Mountains.

Evidence of human activity is found in the scattered sites of Hansons Mill and Fremonts Camp, along with an extensive network of high-country routes such as Wannamaker Trail 908 and the La Garita Sd Trail 787. The area's hydrology is defined by numerous drainages, including Trujillo Cr, E Bellows Cr, and W Alder Cr, which cut through canyons like Cañon Nieve and Cañon Fernandez. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the forest management and recreation corridors utilized in the early 21st century.
