About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where high-elevation drainages like E Sheep Cr and Antelope Cr carve through the terrain. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal water sources and canyons, including the dramatic Taylor Canyon and Rabbit Canyon to the west. Central to the topography is Trickle Mountain, standing as a focal point above the surrounding gulches and the sprawling wetlands associated with Saguache Cr in the southern sections.

Transportation throughout this part of Saguache County is defined by a system of rural county roads, such as Co RD 31cc and Ward Gulch Rd, which provide access to more remote landmarks like Alkali Spring and Lone Pine Reservoir. The map illustrates the specialized water management and land use patterns typical of the Colorado high country, where named gulches like Houghland Gulch and Chico Gulch funnel runoff into the larger creek systems.
