Alpine Loop Land Ownership
map
The Alpine Loop Land Ownership map shows public and (undifferentiated)
private ownership of lands within the study area. Land stewardship (i.e.,
BLM, USFS, private, etc.) and protection status (i.e., wilderness, WSA,
etc.) are indicated on the map.
The Alpine Loop Spatial Analysis and Mapping Project inventoried
natural and cultural resources and identified important areas where
overlapping resources occur. The results from this project will
provide an opportunity for area stakeholders - landowners, outdoor
enthusiasts, surrounding communities, federal government agencies
and local and national preservation groups - to come together to
find solutions that maintain the Alpine Loop experience for future
visitors and residents, while working within the framework of
landowner objectives as well as local and federal government goals.
The Alpine Loop Spatial Analysis and Mapping Project analyzed the
Alpine Loop landscape, considering important natural and cultural
resources along with the likelihood of development based upon
building constraints. The Project aims to provide a planning tool
for area stakeholders as they consider the variety of land
management options and the future of this magnificent region. The
next logical step will be to craft solutions that work within the
framework of landowner desires, local and federal government land
management goals, and available financial and technical resources
to manage the area in a way that preserves the Alpine Loop
experience for future generations.
While the Alpine Loop lies within three counties - San Juan,
Hinsdale and Ouray - the analytical work extended into a portion
of San Miguel County. The resulting mapping and analyses will:
1. Create a spatial foundation to aid future projects in the
Alpine Loop corridor;
2. Serve as a prioritization tool for evaluating the
conservation potential of individual private parcels;
3. Provide the necessary framework for pursuing future
funding opportunities.
