About this map

San Isabel sits at the junction of Custer and Pueblo counties, serving as a gateway to the high-elevation terrain of the San Isabel National Forest. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Saint Charles River and its numerous tributaries like Little Saint Charles Cr and Snowslide Cr carve through deep canyons. The presence of Lake Isabel and high-altitude water bodies such as Marion Lake and Blue Lakes suggests a region centered on mountain recreation and watershed management.

Southern reaches of the map are dominated by the massif of Greenhorn Mtn and North Peak, with several named geographic landmarks like Saint Charles Arch and Dry Creek Canyon providing specific points of interest for topographical study. The cartography traces old routes like the Greenhorn Road (Snow) and forest access paths including Cisneros to NFSR 352, illustrating how the area has been navigated and managed into the 21st century.
