About this map

Stoner serves as a central landmark within this portion of the San Juan National Forest where the Dolores River meets its tributaries. The high-altitude terrain is defined by massive landforms like Stoner Mesa and Taylor Mesa, which overlook a network of water management features essential for high-country operations. The map documents an extensive system of catchment and storage, including Stoner Point Reservoir, Porter Reservoir, and the Bald Hill Rsvr.

Deep canyons such as Spruce Water Canyon and Loading Pen Canyon cut through the forest, while numerous named springs like Vick Spring and Haycamp Spring dot the landscape. This 2019 survey shows the area's intricate network of forest roads, including the Haycamp and Rock Springs systems, reflecting the modern management of these timber and grazing lands. The proximity of the West Dolores River to the main river channel highlights the hydrological importance of this drainage basin.
