About this map

The Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the Montrose County and Ouray County line bisects deep canyon systems. Centered on the Uncompahgre Plateau, the area is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage and rugged access routes like Paradox. High-country water features include Silesca Pond and the headwaters of Beaver Dams Cr, while named canyons such as Lindsay Canyon and DeVinney Canyon carve the northeastern slopes.

Evidence of modern land management and recreation appears through designations like Forest Fence and the Blue Moon Loop Access. The map details specialized winter transit corridors, specifically the S Divide Sno (Snow) and the South Divide Spur P, reflecting the seasonal utility of this territory. This 2019 survey documents a landscape focused on natural resource preservation and high-altitude navigation, where place names like Dented Door hint at the local character of the terrain.
