2019 Map of Little Sheep Mountain

About this map

Little Sheep Mtn and the larger Sheep Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Huerfano and Costilla counties. This 2019 survey captures a complex network of drainages that define the local topography, including the upper reaches of the Huerfano River and Pass Cr. The map reveals a transition from the wilder mountain slopes to the more developed lower elevations near the southern edge, where a cluster of residential roads including Houchin Blvd, Thompson Rd, and Parsons Rd appears. Water is the primary sculptor of this terrain, evidenced by numerous named tributaries like Spring Br, Oak Cr, and S Oak Cr that carve through the high-country peaks and valleys.
