About this map

Stoner serves as the focal point of this mountainous landscape, situated at the confluence where the West Dolores River meets the Dolores River. The geography is defined by high tablelands, most notably Stoner Mesa and Taylor Mesa, which are dissected by numerous canyons and gulches. Significant portions of the territory fall within the San Juan National Forest, supporting a network of recreational paths including Stoner Creek Trail 625 and the Boggy Lookout Trail 193.

Water management is a central feature of the terrain, evidenced by a high density of named reservoirs and springs across the uplands. From Oak Knolls Reservoir in the north to the Wallace Ranch in the south, these features illustrate the irrigation and ranching infrastructure necessary to maintain this high-altitude environment. Local landmarks such as the Stoner Ski Area and The Forks Campground highlight the area's transition toward seasonal recreation and land management in the early 21st century.
