About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this section of the Uncompahgre Plateau at the border of Montrose and Ouray counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of forest service routes and historical paths, including the Paradox Trail 6126.0 and the Spring Creek Trail 6116.0, which navigate a series of deep drainages. Significant topographic features like Linscott Canyon, Lindsay Canyon, and DeVinney Canyon carve through the high ground, feeding a system of creeks such as E Fork Dry Cr and W Fork Spring Cr.

Donley Camp and Silesca Pond represent small human and water-resource markers within this high-elevation wilderness. The presence of Old Highway 90 suggests the historical transit corridors used to cross this portion of the plateau before modern infrastructure diverted primary traffic. The map meticulously documents the intersection of public land boundaries and specialized forest trails like Buck Trail 6149.0 and Clear Creek Trail 5516.0.
