About this map

Ojito Peak rises as the central topographic landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Costilla County, where a dense network of mountain roads reveals the reach of rural development into the Sangre de Cristo foothills. The map documents an intricate lattice of family and place-named routes such as Montezuma Rd, San Gabriel Rd, and Martinez Rd, which weave through the complex drainage basins of Ojito Cr and Trinchera Cr.

Modern land use is evident in the inclusion of the Costilla County Greenbelt Trl, which follows the southern reaches near the waters of Rito Seco. This survey captures the unique intersection of traditional land holdings and more recent recreational or residential planning, seen in the high density of labeled roads like Cordova Rd and Kermit Rd that contrast with the open spaces of Big Meadow and Squirrel Canyon.
