About this map

The Uncompahgre Plateau dominates this landscape within the Uncompahgre National Forest, where high-elevation mesas and deep drainages define the topography. Centered around Windy Point, the area reveals a complex network of seasonal watercourses like Shavano Cr and Campbell Cr that have carved the western Colorado terrain. The presence of Porters Cow Camp and The Meadows reflects the long-standing use of these uplands for seasonal grazing and forest management.

Transportation through the forest is primarily facilitated by a series of specialized trails and forest roads, including the Atkinson Bench Trail 2623.0 and the South Bear Pen Gulch Trail 6124.1A. These routes, along with 47 Road, connect isolated landmarks such as Piñon Mountain and Round Mountain, illustrating the remote but structured nature of the Uncompahgre high country during the early twenty-first century.
