2022 Map of South River Peak

About this map

Rainbow Hot Springs and high-altitude alpine lakes define this high-country landscape along the crest of the San Juan Mountains. The territory is divided between the Rio Grande National Forest and the San Juan National Forest, with the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl serving as the physical and administrative spine. Dramatic elevations center on South River Peak, while the headwaters of the W Fork San Juan River and Goose Cr carve out deep drainages below peaks like Beautiful Mtn and Sawtooth Mtn. The survey documents a network of primitive routes, including the Ivy Creek Trl and Beaver Creek Trl, which connect remote features like Little Goose Lake and Archuleta Lake. This area remains largely defined by its natural topography and wilderness designations, with no permanent settlements or improved roads indicated.
