2013 Map of Wellsville

About this map

Wellsville and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of Fremont County are defined by the winding course of the Arkansas River as it carves through Box Canyon. This mountain landscape is characterized by its hydrothermal activity, noted by the presence of Wellsville Warm Spring and Swissvale Warm Springs along the river corridor. The map details a transition from the river valley to the steep elevations of the San Isabel National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest, where peaks like Simmons Peak and Hunts Peak dominate the skyline. The settlement of Calcite sits tucked away in the eastern hills, connected by a network of drainage-carved landforms such as Badger Gulch and Porter Gulch. For those navigating the backcountry, the Rainbow Trail 1336 and Hunts Lake Trail 1405 provide established routes through this complex geography of gulches and creeks.
