1969 Map of Little Sheep Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Little Sheep Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape in Huerfano County, where the topography transitions from the banks of the Huerfano River to the complex ridgelines of the southern Rockies. The presence of the Sangre De Cristo Grant Bdy indicates a significant historical land division, marking the boundary of a massive Spanish-era land grant that influenced regional settlement patterns for over a century. Water is the primary architect of this terrain, with drainage systems like Oak Creek, South Oak Creek, and the South Fork Yellowstone Creek carving deep valleys. Sparse evidence of human industry appears through a lonely Mine and an network of water infrastructure including several Water Tanks, Springs, and a Well. A primitive Jeep Trail provides the only documented vehicle access through the southern reaches of this isolated territory.
