1986 Map of Ash Mountain

Notable landmarks like The Rock Wall and Windy Gap provide orientation points within the rugged terrain, while family-named features such as Harry Bremmer Canyon and named meadows like Elk Meadows suggest the long-standing human connection to these uplands. The transition from the high peaks of Little Costilla Peak down to the open stretches of Valle Vidal illustrates the diverse topography of northern New Mexico before modern development significantly altered the backcountry trails and unimproved roads shown here.
