About this map

The Rio Grande flows through the northern reaches of this Mineral County landscape, accompanied by the unique geothermal feature Birdsie Warm Spring. This high-elevation terrain within the Rio Grande National Forest is defined by a complex network of water management and natural drainage, from the Sowards Reservoir Number 4 and Meadow Lake Reservoir to the isolated Jumper Cr Reservoir.

Elevations rise sharply toward the south and west, where Baldy Mtn and Antelope Mtn overlook a series of alpine water bodies including Love Lake, Streams Lake, and the seasonal Red Lakes. The drainage patterns of Trout Creek and its many branches, such as E Trout Cr and Middle Trout Cr, illustrate the rugged watershed that feeds the lower valleys. Notable landmarks like Rhodas Arch and the broad expanse of Antelope Park provide reference points for those studying the natural geography of the San Juan Mountains region.
