About this map

Vallecito Reservoir and the Los Pinos River dominate this high-altitude landscape within the San Juan National Forest. This 2013 survey captures the area's role as a major recreation and ranching hub, anchored by the settlement of Vallecito and the Wits End Ranch at the northern end of the water. The map shows an extensive network of specialized paths, including the Endlich Mesa Trail 534 and the Beri ATV Trail 812, which serve the high ridges and basins.

Substantial campgrounds like Graham Creek Campground and North Canyon Campground line the eastern shore, illustrating the localized tourism infrastructure around the reservoir. High peaks and deep incisions like Miller Mountain, Carbonate Basin, and Dark Canyon characterize the surrounding wilderness, while open meadows such as Freeman Park and Dunsworth Park provide flat breaks in the steep topography.
