2022 Map of South Fork East

About this map

The Rio Grande flows through this corner of Colorado, creating a fertile valley flanked by the high elevations of the Rio Grande National Forest. This 2022 survey captures the settlement of South Fork and nearby communities like Alpine and Gerrard, where a complex network of water management features such as the Anaconda Ditch, Minor Ditch, and Meadow Ditch sustain the local landscape. The map shows the area's transition from the riverbanks to higher terrain, including Shaw Mesa and peaks like Aqua Ramon Mtn. To the north, the Morning Shadows Ranch Airport provides a remote point of access, while the southern reaches contain quiet natural features like Lost Lake. The infrastructure is a mix of forest service routes and residential developments, reflecting the area's dual character as a recreational gateway and a established mountain community.
