About this map

The Rio Grande flows through the northern reaches of this high-altitude landscape, defining a network of wetlands and peaks within the Rio Grande National Forest. This terrain is characterized by its complex hydrology, where numerous named springs and creeks like Antelope Spring and Birdsie Warm Spring feed into the river system. Historically significant for its water management, the area features several high-country impoundments including Meadow Lake Reservoir, Sowards Reservoir Number 4, and Jumper Cr Reservoir.

Elevated landmarks such as Baldy Mtn and Antelope Mtn dominate the horizon, while specialized geomorphic features like Rhodas Arch highlight the unique geology of the Mineral County and Hinsdale County border. A series of established paths, including the Fern Creek Trl and Trout Creek Trl, provide the primary means of navigating this roadless backcountry, tracing the routes once used by early forest rangers and seasonal travelers through Antelope Park.
