2013 Map of Baldy Mountain

About this map

Baldy Mtn and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Cimarron Range dominate this northern New Mexico landscape, which straddles the boundary between Taos and Colfax counties. The area is defined by its legacy of backcountry recreation and historic industry, notably within the Philmont Scout Ranch and the Valle Vidal unit. Traces of mining and camping history are evident at sites like Copper Park Camp, French Henry Camp, and Aztec Ridge. Waterways such as Middle Ponil Cr and South Ponil Cr carve through deep canyons like Greenwood Canyon and Seally Canyon. The presence of French Henry Rd and F R 1910 provides a sense of the limited access to this high country, while landmarks like The Rock Wall and Beatty Cabin serve as important navigational points for those retracing the historical footprints of this mountain wilderness.
