2022 Map of Terrace Reservoir

About this map

The Alamosa River and its upper tributaries anchor this high-altitude landscape within the Rio Grande National Forest. The geography is defined by a system of water management and high-country transit, where the Terrace Reservoir and La Jara Reservoir regulate the flow through narrow canyons and meadows. This survey details a network of Forest Service roads and trails, such as the Hot Creek Trl and Chaquita Peak Trl, which navigate the complex terrain around Jacobs Hill and Bald Ridge. The drainage patterns of La Jara Cr, Piedrosa Cr, and Poso Cr reveal a landscape carved by seasonal runoff. Remote landmarks like Little Brown Lake and La Jara Meadows provide specific points of reference for those studying the hydrological and recreational development of Conejos County.
