2014 Map of Abajo Peak

About this map

Abajo Peak serves as the focal point of this survey in the eastern Abajo Mountains, where steep drainage systems and high-altitude passes define the local geography. The landscape is characterized by a network of gulches and basins, including the notably named Gold Queen Basin and Gold Queen Gulch, which point toward the area's prospecting history. Within the Manti-Lasal National Forest, the topography transitions from the high summits of Horsehead Peak and North Peak down into complex canyon systems like Devil Canyon and Bulldog Canyon. Water resources are central to the area's utility, marked by the Camp Jackson Reservoir and various watercourses such as Recapture Cr and Verdure Cr. This 2014 representation captures the modern forest management infrastructure, including W Abajo Dr and Dude Ranch Rd, alongside natural landmarks like Buckboard Flat.
