About this map

Salinas National Monument (Abo Division) preserves the cultural convergence of this high-desert landscape in Torrance County. The small settlement of Abo sits at the junction of significant drainage systems and canyon passages, including the wide Abo Arroyo and Cañon Barranco. The surrounding terrain within the Cibola National Forest is defined by an intricate network of deep canyons such as Cañon Latigo, Cañon Deer, and Cañon Saladito.

Water management is a central theme of this 1990s-era landscape, illustrated by numerous named ranching or stock improvements like Chilton Tank, West Latigo Tank, and Squatty Tank. A prominent Pipeline traverses the high ridges, while resources like the Gravel Pit indicate local utility. Natural water sources like Wildcat Spring and Cyp Spring remain vital landmarks in an area otherwise characterized by dry arroyos and rugged canyon topography.
