About this map

San Juan National Forest covers much of this high-elevation plateau, where a complex network of arroyos and canyons defines the drainage patterns. The landscape is characterized by its numerous water management features, including the numerically sequenced Big Water Reservoir Number Ten through Big Water Reservoir Number Six. This system of catchment basins and reservoirs like Wolf Den Reservoir and Muhly Reservoir suggests a legacy of livestock grazing or early forest management practices in this corner of Dolores County.

Deep canyons such as Glade Point Canyon and Cow Canyon carve through the terrain, while the presence of named water sources like Fader Spring and Rock Spring highlights the critical importance of water in this semi-arid environment. The inclusion of The 513 Connector Trl provides a look at the established trail infrastructure used to navigate the varied elevations between Glade Point and the various draws.
