2017 Map of School Section Mountain

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the high-elevation terrain of the Sierra Madre is incised by deep drainages like Big Bear Canyon and La Bonte Canyon. The boundary between Converse and Albany Counties cuts across the center of the sheet, dividing a region defined by its complex hydrology and dramatic relief. Numerous draws and gulches, including Old Maids Draw and Curtis Gulch, channel water toward the significant La Bonte Cr system. In the north, School Section Mtn rises above Downey Park, while the Wagonhound Reservoir provides a primary water source. The road network is sparse, consisting largely of named forest routes like La Bonte Canyon Rd and local connectors such as W Lodgepine Ln, reflecting the area's use for resource management and wilderness access.
