About this map

San Isabel sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of Lake Isabel and the Saint Charles River draw together a dense network of backcountry routes. This recent survey captures a region defined by its complex drainage systems, including the Middle Muddy Cr and Amethyst Cr, which carve through the San Isabel National Forest. The geography here is marked by significant elevation gains, culminating in prominent landmarks like North Peak and Greenhorn Mtn.

Tracing the early-century infrastructure of the forest, the map highlights numerous historical pathways such as the Cisneros Trl, Wachob Trl, and Turkey Creek Trl. These trails often follow natural breaks in the terrain like Gleason Canyon and Reveille Canyon, connecting isolated water sources such as Rooster Spring and Blue Lakes. The intersection of Huerfano, Pueblo, and Custer counties occurs within this mountain block, illustrating the role of topographically significant features in defining political boundaries.
