About this map

Spar City serves as the focal point of this high-altitude landscape within the Rio Grande National Forest. Situated among the peaks of the San Juan Mountains, the settlement is surrounded by steep drainage systems like Ivy Creek and Deep Creek. This 2019 survey documents a terrain defined by historical mining activity and natural landmarks, most notably the Denver Tunnel located just south of Monument Peak.

The geography is dominated by a succession of summits, including Snowshoe Mtn and Fisher Mountain, which rise above alpine basins such as Seven Parks. The water network is intricate, with the Roaring Fork and Fisher Cr carving through the high country. For those studying the evolution of Colorado's mining districts or high-elevation forest management, the map provides precise locations for remote summits like Copper Mtn and the numerous forest service roads that provide access to this isolated area.
