About this map

Summitville sits high in the San Juan Mountains, a site defined by its mining legacy and complex relationship with the landscape. The infrastructure of resource extraction is evident in the Summitville Tailings Pond, situated near Wightman Fork and Cropsy Cr. This high-altitude terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Grayback Mountain, South Mountain, and Elephant Mountain, while the southern portion of the sheet transitions across the Rio Grande Co Conejos Co boundary into the watershed of the Alamosa River.

Water management and recreation appear throughout the Rio Grande National Forest, from the high waters of Fuchs Reservoir and Kerr Lake to the secluded Lilly Pond. Evidence of seasonal use and habitation persists at Stunner Cabin and Hutchison Corral, providing specific points of interest for those tracking historical land use and early alpine ranching or camping locations like Stunner Campground.
