1984 Map of Oak Brush Hill

About this map

The Southern Ute Indian Reservation dominates this 1980s landscape, where the San Juan River carves a deep path through the high mesa country of southern Colorado. The map documents a complex intersection of land management and history, clearly delineating the Old Indian Treaty Boundary as it cuts across the rugged terrain near Oak Brush Hill. To the north and east, the San Juan National Forest meets the reservation lands, creating a vast area of protected wilderness characterized by prominent landforms like Newton Mesa and Eightmile Mesa.
