2016 Map of Ojito Peak

About this map

Ojito Peak towers over this pocket of Costilla County, anchored by a dense network of private mountain roads that trace the complex topography of the Sangre de Cristo foothills. Named routes like Montezuma Rd, San Miguel Rd, and Hotchkiss Rd weave through various gulches and canyons, suggesting a landscape segmented by modern rural development or large estate holdings. The hydrology is defined by the headwaters of Ojito Cr and Trinchera Cr, which drain the higher elevations towards the southwest. Along the southern edge of the survey, the Willow Cr Reservoir and the drainage of Rito Seco provide essential water infrastructure in an otherwise arid and elevated terrain. Notable landmarks such as Big Meadow and Squirrel Canyon break the steep contour lines, offering clear reference points for those studying the local geography.
