2011 Map of Osha Mountain

About this map

Osha Mountain and the Rincon Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in the Sangre de Cristo range. The 2011 survey details the suburban expansion of Angle Fire and Monte Verde Unit One into the canyon and meadow systems of the southern Moreno Valley. In contrast to the developed north, the southern portion of the sheet remains largely defined by its natural drainage systems, including the Mora River, Coyote Creek, and the mountain waters of Black Lake. Local history is anchored by the Black Lake Cemetery and the industrial footprint of the Torres Pit. Movement through this varied terrain is traced along several high passes like Osha Pass and Quintana Pass, while the lower parklands of Little Garcia Park and Jarocita Park illustrate the traditional mountain meadows used by generations of New Mexican settlers.
