About this map

The Conejos River and Rio de los Pinos define the drainage of this high-elevation landscape in southern Conejos County. The settlement of Osier serves as a central point in a region characterized by remote mountain camps and scattered ranching operations. The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as McIntyre Peak, Pinorealosa Mountain, and Osier Mountain, alongside distinctive features like Spruce Hole and Alamaditas Mesa.

Industry and recreation intersect at sites like Menkhaven Ranch and the Trail Gulch Cow Camp, suggesting the ongoing tradition of high-country grazing. Waterways including Toltec Creek, Sheep Creek, and Bear Creek carve through the canyons, while the Aspen Glade Campground indicates the area's use for wilderness access. This survey details the primitive forest road network, including FDR 101 RD and FDR 103, which provides the primary transit through the steep, wooded reaches of Osier Park.
