2016 Map of Wolf Creek Pass

About this map

Wolf Creek Pass serves as the central high-altitude crossing of the San Juan Mountains, where the boundary between the Rio Grande National Forest and San Juan National Forest meets at the continental crest. This 2016 survey highlights a landscape dominated by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which threads through prominent peaks including Alberta Peak and Treasure Mtn. The hydrology is defined by the headwaters of the E Fork San Juan River and several alpine water bodies like Rock Lake and the Alberta Park Reservoir. Significant landmarks such as Treasure Falls and Windy Pass are clearly marked alongside an extensive network of high-country routes including the Lobo Trail and Treasure Mountain Trail. The map also captures the administrative division at the Mineral Co Archuleta Co line, providing a detailed record of this high-elevation pass before modern forest management updates.
