The Uncompahgre National Forest Map produced by the US Forest Service contains the most current information on roads, trails, recreation sites, travel restrictions and contact phone numbers for the Uncompahgre National Forest.

The Uncompahgre Plateau, located in western Colorado, was established as part of the Uncompahgre Forest Reserve by President Theodore Roosevelt's proclamation of June 14, 1905. "Uncompahgre" is a Ute work describing "Rocks that make Water Red." The Plateau itself is a long, narrow geologic uplift formation bordered on the east by the wide valleys of the Gunnison and Uncompahgre rivers and on the west by the narrow gorges of the Dolores and San Miguel rivers. Starting from an elevation of about 4600 feet, it rises to just under 10,000 feet.
