About this map

Ojito Peak rises as the central landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Costilla County, where the southern Colorado terrain is defined by its industrial activity and a complex network of private and access roads. The presence of the San Luis Project Mine, El Plomo Mine, and the East Blackmore Tract Mine in the southern portion of the map indicates a region heavily influenced by contemporary mineral extraction.

Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the Willow Creek Reservoir and the winding paths of Rito Seco and Trinchera Creek. A dense grid of named roads, such as Montezuma Rd and Sandoval Rd, suggests a settled or subdivided area carved into the slopes below the peak. These features together show a modern landscape where natural features like Big Meadow and Squirrel Canyon exist alongside established mining operations and mountain infrastructure.
