The Sangre de Cristo Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape northeast of Santa Fe, where the Santa Fe National Forest encompasses a network of recreational and historic sites. This 2013 survey details the upper reaches of the watershed where the Santa Fe River, Tesuque Cr, and Rio Nambe originate. High alpine basins are marked by notable landmarks such as Santa Fe Baldy, Penitente Peak, and Tesuque Peak, while the Santa Fe Ski Basin and Sierra Lodge serve as modern focal points for activity. The map reveals a legacy of seasonal and remote habitation through labels like Rancho Viejo, Aspen Ranch, and Aspen Cabin. Remote glacial waters, including Lake Katherine and Nambe Lake, sit tucked within the ridges, providing a clear view of the area's complex drainage patterns and trail-accessible wilderness.
