2016 Map of Little Sheep Mountain

About this map

Little Sheep Mountain and its neighbor Sheep Mtn dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Huerfano and Costilla Counties. The area is defined by a dense network of mountain drainage systems, where the headwaters of the Huerfano River are joined by numerous tributaries including Pass Cr, Oak Cr, and Spring Br. Modern infrastructure is concentrated in the southern sections, where a grid of local roads serves the foothills. This network includes named routes like Houchin Blvd, Thompson Rd, and Parsons Rd, indicating localized development and land use patterns adjacent to the steep mountain slopes. The map provides a clear record of the intersection between high-elevation terrain and the rural road systems that facilitate access to these remote Colorado summits.
