About this map

Rosita and Querida anchor the northern landscape of this Custer County survey, situated in a high-elevation region defined by the eastern edges of the Wet Mountain Valley. The topography is densely packed with named peaks and drainages, reflecting a long history of activity in the Rosita Hills. Notable summits like Mount Robinson, Pocahontas Hill, and Bald Mountain overlook a network of gulches, including the ominous Poverty Gulch and Leavenworth Gulch.

Evidence of local history is preserved at the Rosita Cem, while modern land use is marked by the Silver West Airport to the southwest and the expansive San Isabel National Forest boundary to the east. The map detail extends from the Robinson Plateau down toward the DeWeese Plateau, showing a transition from steep ridge lines to the creek systems of Antelope Cr and Lapin Cr. Isolated outposts like Smith Ranch and Hobby Ranch indicate the continued rural character of this high-country terrain.
