About this map

San Juan National Forest covers the northern reaches of this Colorado landscape, where the terrain is defined by the headwaters of several critical drainages. The Florida River and the Los Pinos River flank the eastern and western portions of the quadrangle, connected by a network of high-elevation roads such as Co RD 240 and Florida RD. Centrally, the namesake Rules Hill and Rabbit Mtn rise above a complex system of canyons including Homer Canyon and Hartman Canyon.

The small settlement of Columbus sits near the eastern edge, while the Shreck Cem provides a specific point of genealogical interest for those tracing local family roots. The road network, featuring names like Vosburg Pike and Cherry Valley Rd, suggests a modern rural residential character integrated into the difficult topography of Spring Gulch and Wallace Gulch. This survey captures the area’s transition from forest and canyon lands to organized rural communities.
