2020 Map of Ambrosia Lake

About this map

Ambrosia Lake sits at the center of this McKinley County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the protected timberlands of the Cibola National Forest. The map documents a complex network of canyons and mesas, featuring prominent landmarks such as San Mateo Mesa and Mesa de las Vacas. Named water features like Laguna del Monte and Ojo del Hijinio indicate the critical role of water management in this arid environment, alongside several established stock tanks like Jim Tank and Voght Tank. The terrain is deeply inscribed by family-named landmarks including Don Andres Hill, Julian Hill, and the sweeping Hijinio Draw. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the local road network, such as 192 B RD, as it navigates the breaks between Punta Maestra and Cerro Legua.
