2011 Map of Oakbrush Hill

About this map

The San Juan River and Rio Blanco converge in this Colorado landscape, shaping a terrain of prominent mesas and deep canyons south of Pagosa Springs. The map documents a period of residential expansion characterized by a network of winding roads like Vista San Juan and S Pagosa Blvd, contrasting with the more traditional land use of the Seavy Ranch Mine found near Stinking Springs Canyon. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the Echo Canyon Reservoir and its associated Echo Canyon Dam in the northeast. This 2011 survey captures the intersection of natural landmarks like Eightmile Mesa and Oakbrush Hill with modern subdivision development, providing a clear record of how this portion of Archuleta County has transitioned between ranching roots and mountain residential growth.
