About this map

The San Juan National Forest encompasses the high country of Montezuma County, where a complex network of forest roads and irrigation ditches supports both timber and ranching. The landscape is defined by the Rampart Hills and The Hogback, featuring numerous named reservoirs such as Menefee Reservoir, Robbins Reservoir, and Box Canyon Reservoir. These water features, alongside the Weber Reservoir Inlet Ditch and Long Park Ditch, reflect a long-standing reliance on diverted water to sustain the lower-elevation flats and pastures.

Local history is preserved in landmarks like the Sheek Cem and named clearings such as Doc Lowell Flat and Schubert Flat. The map documents the presence of Golconda and Roundup Junction, along with recreation sites like Joe Ellis Park and Lucy Halls Park. The terrain varies from the prominent Red Arrow Dome to the sharp heights of Helmet Peak, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and named family landmarks of this Colorado plateau region.
