About this map

Wolf Creek Pass serves as the high-elevation focal point for this survey, where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl traverses the crest of the San Juan Mountains. The landscape is a complex network of glacial cirques and high-altitude parks, including Alberta Park and Tucker Park, partitioned between the Rio Grande National Forest and the San Juan National Forest.

Strategic passage through the mountains is recorded via the Windy Pass Trl and the Lobo Trl, while significant drainages like the E Fork San Juan River and Wolf Cr carve deep valleys below summits such as Treasure Mountain and Alberta Peak. The map illustrates the boundary between Mineral and Archuleta counties, following the natural topographic divide that separates the watershed between Rock Lake in the north and Lost Lake further south.
