2016 Map of Sanborn Park

About this map

Sanborn School stands at the center of this high-altitude landscape, illustrating the remote educational infrastructure within the Uncompahgre National Forest during the mid-2010s. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the depths of San Miguel Canyon in the south to the expansive Horsefly Bench and Wrights Mesa further north. This area serves as a critical watershed, evidenced by an extensive network of man-made water management features including Tarantula Reservoir, Herman Reservoir, and the Nelson Ditch.
