About this map

Wetmore and Greenwood anchor the northern landscape of this region, where the high plains meet the eastern slopes of the San Isabel National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system defined by numerous gulches and canyons, including Tennant Gulch, Watson Gulch, and the deep Rushmer Canyon. This topography is shaped by the presence of S Hardscrabble Cr and Middle-Red Cr Soda Gulch, showing a territory where water management and access were primary drivers of early road development.

Outdoor recreation and forest management are evident through the network of established paths like the Mason Gulch Trail 1363 and Lewis Creek Trail 1331. Landmarks such as Bears Head, Big Red Butte, and Little Red Butte provide clear navigational points across the Custer and Pueblo county line. The presence of School Section Draw and the Florence Picnic Area reflects the continued multi-use nature of these public and private lands.
