2019 Map of Stewart Peak

About this map

Stewart Peak and the high ridges of the La Garita Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Gunnison National Forest. The map documents a complex system of alpine meadows and parks, including Bondholder Meadows, Horsefly Park, and Groundhog Park, connected by a network of forest roads and creek drainages. The presence of the Cochetopa Meadows Ditch near Big Meadows illustrates the historical management of water resources in this part of Saguache County. Notable peaks such as Baldy Chato and Baldy Alto provide vertical relief among the headwaters of numerous streams, including Los Pinos Cr and Pauline Cr. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of land divisions and the access routes through high passes like Los Pinos Pass.
