2013 Map of Trickle Mountain

About this map

Trickle Mountain rises as the central landmark in this high-altitude landscape within Saguache County, where the northern reaches of the Rio Grande National Forest meet an intricate network of drainage systems. The terrain is defined by a series of deep cuts including Taylor Canyon, Rabbit Canyon, and Houghland Gulch, all shaped by seasonal water flow. Human presence is largely marked by the path of State Hwy 114 and a web of county roads such as Co Road 31CC, which navigate the difficult topography. Water resources, critical for high-country livestock and wildlife, are concentrated at points like Alkali Spring and the Lone Pine Reservoir. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the wandering course of Saguache Cr, while numerous tributaries like Sheep Cr and Jacks Cr cut through the timbered slopes to the north.
