2016 Map of Workman Creek

About this map

The Rio Grande winds through high-altitude terrain in this section of the Rio Grande National Forest, marking a landscape defined by significant water management and glacial geology. High peaks like Baldy Mtn and Hogback Mtn overlook a complex network of alpine hydrology, including Meadow Lake Reservoir, Sowards Reservoir Number 1, and Jumper Cr Reservoir. The map illustrates the 21st-century state of these wilderness areas, where the Continental Divide looms near the boundary of Hinsdale and Mineral counties. Backcountry access is documented via several historic pathways, notably the Trout Creek Trail and Fern Creek Trail, which connect high basins like Antelope Park to unique geological features such as Rhodas Arch and the geothermal waters of Birdsie Warm Spring.
