About this map

The peaks of Little Sheep Mtn and Sheep Mtn dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Huerfano and Costilla Counties. This 2022 survey captures a complex drainage system where the Blueberry River and Pass Creek carve through the western slopes, while Spring Br, Oak Creek, and South Oak Creek define the eastern watersheds.

Modern residential development patterns are visible at the base of the mountains, specifically along Houchin Blvd, Thompson Rd, and Parsons Rd. These named roads represent a shift from the rugged, remote ranching origins of the area toward contemporary land use. The map provides a precise look at the township and range system, including t27s r70w, highlighting the intersection of public land survey boundaries and difficult topography.
