About this map

Angel Fire sits at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where high-altitude alpine basins meet the headwaters of the Coyote Creek system. The landscape is defined by massive ridges and peaks, most notably Agua Fria Peak and the surrounding summits of Angel Fire Peak and Aspen Hill. A dense network of residential and resort roads, such as El Camino Real and Enchanted Way, weaves through the slopes of the northern sections, reflecting the area's development into a major mountain destination.

Further south, the terrain becomes more isolated, transitioning into the sprawling Laguna Salada Mesa and deep cuts like Guadalupita Canyon and Manueles Canyon. The map records numerous seasonal water features and distinct landmarks like Salt House Ridge and Willys Tip, alongside the high-elevation flats of Agua Fria Park. This 2017 survey details the boundary between Colfax and Mora counties, tracing how human infrastructure thins as the elevation rises toward the eastern ridge lines.
