2013 Map of Angus

About this map

Lincoln National Forest surrounds a series of high-altitude settlements and canyons in this 2013 survey of the southern Sacramento Mountains. High points such as Monjeau Peak and Salt Peak tower over a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, where named canyons like Philadelphia Canyon and Telephone Canyon provide drainage toward the Rio Bonito. The map illustrates the residential expansion near the northern edge of Ruidoso, showing the growth of mountain communities like Alto, Sun Valley, and Sierra Vista clustered near the Alto Reservoir.
