About this map

Arkansas River frontage and the thermal waters of Swissvale Warm Springs and Wellsville Warm Spring characterize this portion of Fremont County. The settlement of Wellsville sits near Box Canyon, while the community of Howard occupies the southeastern reach near Cherry Cr. This area is defined by the high-elevation divide between the San Isabel National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest, marked by prominent summits such as Simmons Peak and Hunts Peak.

Transport and recreation routes follow the natural drainage patterns and ridges, notably the extensive Rainbow Trail and the Hunts Lake Trail leading to Hunts Lake. Numerous gulches, including Maverick Gulch and Silverheel Gulch, descend toward the river valley, illustrating the complex drainage systems of the eastern Sangre de Cristo range. Historic property lines and survey boundaries are visible through the inclusion of township and range markers like t49n r9e and county divisions between Chaffee, Fremont, and Saguache.
