1993 Map of South Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

South Mountain dominates this portion of the San Juan National Forest in Dolores County, where a network of water management features and high-altitude plateaus define the landscape. The northern reaches are shaped by Disappointment Creek and its tributaries, including Alkali Wash and Salt Arroyo. Evidence of early water engineering is visible through labels for a Flume and Siphon near the creek's path. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Nash Cem provides a specific point of interest in an otherwise sparsely settled region of the San Miguel Mountains. The southern terrain transitions into the broad expanse of Lone Mesa, supported by water sources such as Lone Mesa Reservoir and Lone Mesa Spring No 1. The map also captures several prominent peaks, including Thomas Mountain and Belmear Mountain, alongside numerous 4WD tracks that suggest the area's continued use for resource management and access.
