2013 Map of Little Sheep Mountain

About this map

Little Sheep Mountain and Sheep Mountain dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Huerfano and Costilla Counties. This 2013 survey reveals a drainage network defined by the Huerfano River in the northwest and the headwaters of Yellowstone Creek and South Fork Yellowstone Creek in the southeast. The terrain is marked by a network of county routes, including Co RD-561 and Co RD-540, which follow the natural contours of the mountain passes. The presence of Houchin Blvd in the southwest corner suggests localized development or property divisions in an otherwise sparsely populated area. Water sources like Pass Creek, Spring Branch, and South Oak Creek carve through the topography, illustrating the watershed patterns that have shaped this portion of the Sangre de Cristo foothills.
