About this map

Wolf Creek Pass serves as the central crossing point in this high-elevation terrain, where the boundaries of the San Juan National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest meet. The 2019 survey documents the serpentine path of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail as it traverses prominent peaks, including Alberta Peak and the massive ridge of Treasure Mountain. These summits overlook the headwaters of the E Fork San Juan River and several alpine drainages like Wolf Creek and Fall Creek.

The southern portion of the map transition into Mineral and Archuleta counties, following the rugged spine of Quartz Ridge. This landscape is defined by its seasonal access, shown through routes like the East Fork Winter trail. Scattered landmarks such as Lobo and Windy Pass provide fixed points for navigating this wilderness, while small water bodies like Rock Lake dot the higher elevations near the northern boundary.
