About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of western Colorado, where a network of water sources and seasonal camps supported the region's ranching and resource management. The geography is defined by the Tabeguache Basin and the prominent Pine Ridge, with water vital for survival provided by Monument Lake and numerous named seeps like Blue Mud Spring and Ouray Spring. Functional infrastructure is sparse but specific, including the Basin Work Center and the Houser Cow Camp, reflecting the administrative and livestock activities of the mid-to-late 20th century.
