About this map

Rio Grande National Forest and the La Jara State Wildlife Area dominate this high-altitude landscape in the southern Rockies. The water management infrastructure of the early 21st century is well-documented, from the Spillway Elev 8568 at Terrace Reservoir to the Gaging Sta along the Alamosa River.

Evidence of seasonal ranching and land use appears through specific family-named sites such as Shawcroft Cow Camp and the Baxter and Martin Cow Camp near Fredd Gulch. The complex drainage network of Hot Creek, Piedrosa Creek, and Poso Creek carves through the terrain, illustrating the critical role of these waterways in a region defined by its timber and grazing resources. Significant landmarks like Jacobs Hill and Bald Ridge provide orientation across these public lands.
