2013 Map of Wetterhorn Peak

About this map

Wetterhorn Peak and the surrounding high country of the Uncompahgre National Forest dominate this 2013 survey of the San Juan Mountains. Spanning the boundary of Ouray and Hinsdale counties, the landscape is defined by its drainage systems and glacial features, including the W Fork Cimarron River and Middle Fork Cimarron River. The map illustrates a complex network of named mountain trails used by generations of climbers and packers, such as the Wetterhorn Peak Trl 9256.0 and the Ridge Stock Driveway Trl 9233.0. Notable high-altitude landmarks include the American Flats plateau and the prominent Coxcomb Peak. This record serves as a comprehensive guide to the physical geography of one of Colorado's most demanding alpine regions, documenting the location of peaks like Sunshine Mountain and Blackwall Mountain alongside water sources like American Lake.
