About this map

Stewart Peak and the high summits of Baldy Chato and Baldy Alto dominate this alpine landscape in Saguache County. This 2011 survey captures a region defined by high-altitude meadows and an intricate network of drainages that feed the Los Pinos Creek system. The presence of the Cochetopa Meadows Ditch indicates the historical and ongoing importance of water management for the lower meadows like Big Meadows and Bondholder Meadows.

Evidence of early mountain travel is preserved in the location of Los Pinos Pass and primitive routes like Co Rd 8 EE and County Rd KK14. The map details a series of distinct parks—including Horsefly Park, Sage Park, and Groundhog Park—which have historically served as vital grazing and transit points through the high country. These named landmarks and the winding course of Pauline Creek offer a clear view of the seasonal ranching and wilderness geography of the southern Rocky Mountains.
