About this map

Vallecito Reservoir dominates the drainage of the Los Pinos River in this section of the San Juan National Forest. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation reaches of Endlich Mesa and the surrounding peaks of Miller Mtn and Mid Mtn. This late 2010s survey details a sophisticated network of recreation and access routes, including the Vallecito Horse Route 1, specialized Beri ATV trails, and the Bear Creek Loop.

Around the small settlement of Vallecito, the map traces the intersection of local roads like Cty Rd 501/600/602 with extensive public lands. Open meadows and high parks such as Dunsworth Park, Freeman Park, and Runlett Park are situated among a dense web of alpine creeks including Weasel Skin Cr and Grimes Cr. The map provides an essential record of water management and backcountry infrastructure in La Plata County.
