The current land ownership and lands use patterns in the area
are fragmented. Approximately 50-60% of the land in this area is
privately owned. These lands are a mix between remains of
historic ranches, 40 acre residential parcels, old County
subdivisions with 5-10 acre parcels, and mining claims which are
becoming residential parcels. The Town of Nederland lies to the
west and abuts Reynolds Ranch. Mixed in are scattered blocks of
National Forest land ranging in size from just a few acres to
approximately 1300 acres. This largest block of National Forest
land abuts all three open space properties.
