The Continental Divide snake-like through the center of this region, separating the high headwaters of the Rio Grande from the western drainages of the Gunnison National Forest. In the early 1980s, this landscape remained a critical intersection of mining history and high-altitude ranching, centered on the town of Saguache. To the northeast, the Sawatch Range towers over the valley, while the Cochetopa Hills bridge the gap between the major wilderness areas.
