About this map

San Juan National Forest lands dominate the southern half of this quadrangle, defining a landscape utilized for water management and resource protection. This 2013 survey reveals an intricate network of highland hydrology, where numerous man-made catchments like Andrews Reservoir, Carlyle Reservoir, and the series of numbered reservoirs including Middle Number 5 Reservoir and Little Beaver Number 3 Reservoir gather water from the drainages of Plateau Cr and Summer Camp Cr.

A notable marker of frontier history is found at the Beaver Creek Massacre site in the southeast, situated near the boundary between Dolores and Montezuma Counties. Elevations rise significantly in the northern reaches, culminating at Lone Mesa and Belmear Mountain. This terrain is further distinguished by geographic features such as Trail Canyon and Rocky Draw, which illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of this high-elevation region of Southwest Colorado.
