2023 Map of Oakbrush Hill

About this map

Pagosa Springs and the nearby settlement of Nutria occupy the northern reaches of this landscape, where the San Juan River and Stollsteimer Creek carve through the high plateaus of Archuleta County. The geography is defined by prominent landforms such as Eightmile Mesa and Newton Mesa, which stand above deep drainages like Polito Canyon and Taylor Canyon. Much of the southern and central terrain is protected within the San Juan National Forest, showing a network of forest roads and trails that intersect the varying elevations near Oakbrush Hill. The map detail captures the transition from the established residential streets of the springs, including Chris Mountain Dr and Vista Blvd, to the open wilderness and steep escarpments at Pordonia Point and Billy Goat Point.
