2013 Map of Spanish Peaks

About this map

East Spanish Peak and West Spanish Peak dominate this landscape within the San Isabel National Forest, where the border between Huerfano and Las Animas counties meets. The high-elevation terrain is marked by dramatic geological formations such as Big Wall and Lovers Leap, alongside numerous drainages like Wahatoya Cr and Story Cr. Evidence of human recreation and water management is clear through the presence of the Santa Fe Trail Council Camp, Wahatoya Camp, and reservoirs like Salas Ditch Reservoir. The map details a network of forest roads and trails, including Wahatoya Trail 1304, which provide access to remote areas like Bear Lake and the various canyons that define the southern Colorado wilderness during this modern era of land management.
