    Wild Connections Conservation Plan for the Pike & San Isabel National Forests Chapter 5 – Complexes: Area-Specific Management Recommendations This section contains our detailed, area-specific proposal utilizing the theme based approach to land management. As an organizational tool, this proposal divides the Pike-San Isabel National Forest into eleven separate Complexes, based on geo-physical characteristics of the land such as mountain ranges, parklands, or canyon systems. Each complex narrative provides details and justifications for our management recommendations for specific areas. In order to emphasize the larger landscape and connectivity of these lands with the ecoregion, commentary on relationships to adjacent non-Forest lands are also included. Evaluations of ecological value across public and private lands are used throughout this chapter. The Colorado Natural Heritage Programs rates the biodiversity of Potential Conservation Areas (PCAs) as General Biodiversity, Moderate, High, Very High, and Outranking Significance. The Nature Conservancy assesses the conservation value of its Conservation Blueprint areas as Low, Moderately Low, Moderate, Moderately High and High. The Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project's Wildlands Network Vision recommends land use designations of Core Wilderness, Core Agency, Low and Moderate Compatible Use, and Wildlife Linkages. Detailed explanations are available from the respective organizations. Complexes – Summary List by Watershed Table 5.1: Summary of WCCP Complexes Watershed Complex Ranger District

Per the requirements outlined in a Consent Decree dated April 28, 2016, issued by the Colorado District Court, Water Division 2, in regards to Cucharas Dam No. 5, and on behalf of Two Rivers Water & Farming Company (project proponent), Cucharas Dam No. 5 is proposed for breaching and for a channel to be cut through the existing pool sediments to allow water to pass through the Cucharas Reservoir while plans to construct a new dam downstream of the existing dam are completed. The cultural resource inventory was conducted to ensure project compliance regarding historic properties under Title 54 United States Code § 300101 et seq., National Park Service and Related Programs (formerly known as the National Historic Preservation Act [16 United States Code 470]) and its implementing regulations (Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations Part 800), in support of U.S.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR MISCELLANEOUS FIELD STUDIES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP MF-1635-A PAMPHLET MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE SANGRE DE CRISTO WILDERNESS STUDY AREA, SOUTH-CENTRAL COLORADO By Bruce R. Johnson and David A. Lindsey, U.S. Geological Survey and Clarence E. Ellis, Brian J. Hannigan, and John R. Thompson, U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provides that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness Study Area, Rio Grande and San Isabel National Forests, Fremont, Saguache, Custer, Huerfano, Alamosa, and Costilla Counties, south-central Colorado. The area was designated as a wilderness study area under Public Law 96-560 in 1980. MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL SUMMARY STATEMENT Mineral surveys undertaken largely in 1981 and 1982 delineated an area of low to moderate mineral resource potential, an area of moderate mineral resource potential, and an area of high mineral resource potential in the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness Study Area (also referred to as the WSA or the study area).

  • Antora Meadows Recommended Wilderness
    Antora Meadows recommended wilderness Proposed Wilderness Designation Rio Grande National Forest Saguache Ranger District 27,700 acres General Description One of Colorado’s least‐known segments of the Continental Divide runs between the San Juan and Sawatch ranges along the northern rim of the San Luis Valley. The proposed Antora Meadows wilderness contains a large portion of an easy to overlook forested length of the divide and is a primary component of one of Colorado’s largest unprotected roadless areas in the Cochetopa Hills. The proposed wilderness would fill one of the largest remaining gaps in the wilderness system in the Southern Rockies, and complete the ecological connection between the large protected wilderness areas of the San Juans to the south and the equally important preserves of the Elk, Sawatch, and Sangre de Cristo ranges to the north and east. The area is generally a refuge for wildlife, including robust deer and elk herds. It is also home to a pure population of the imperiled Rio Grande cutthroat trout. Antora Meadows lies in the Saguache Creek watershed north of Saguache. The area is bounded on the north by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, but the primary access point is the Middle Creek Trailhead on its south side. Fescue grasslands and open ponderosa pine forest are typical in the lowest portions of the area starting at an elevation of 8,800 feet. Large stands of aspen and lodgepole pine forest become more common as one travels deeper into the area towards the Continental Divide at 10,600 feet. The area tops out at 13,269‐foot Antora Peak.

The first American settlers took up residence in the area during the 1850s, establishing ranches, farms and small, isolated communities along the Cucharas and Huerfano rivers. In 1861, the U.S. Congress established the Territory of Colorado and set the original borders of the County. One of the seventeen original Colorado counties, it encompassed over four million acres, stretching from the top of the Sangre de Cristos to the Kansas border. Then in 1867, the Territorial Legislature redrew the boundary lines of the County to their present configuration to include approximately 1,591 square miles. At that time La Veta, originally called Francisco Plaza, had been established for five years and the county seat was located at Badito, a small community near Gardner. However, the Town of Walsenburg (originally called Plaza de Los Leones) experienced rapid growth due to its location along major transportation routes and became the County seat in 1878.
