1967 Map of Osier

About this map

Denver and Rio Grande Western (Los Pinos) tracks through the high country of the Rio Grande National Forest, following the winding course of the Conejos River and its tributaries. This 1967 survey captures the remote character of the southern Colorado Rockies, where infrastructure is defined by legacy cattle-driving routes and early mountain transit. The map documents the high-altitude station at Osier, a critical point along the narrow-gauge rail line, situated near the dramatic geography of Osier Mountain and Osier Park.
