2017 Map of Baldy Mountain

About this map

Baldy Mountain dominates the southern skyline of this high-altitude landscape, marking a prominent peak within the Cimarron Range along the border of Taos and Colfax Counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic vertical relief, from the sharp descent of French Henry Ridge to the secluded meadows of Valle Vidal in the north. This area reflects a legacy of high-country exploration and resource proximity, notably at Aztec Copper Ridge Park, where the names suggest a history of prospecting. Water sources like Middle Ponil Cr and S Ponil Cr carve through deep cuts like Seally Canyon and Greenwood Canyon, while the geological formation known as The Rock Wall stands as a distinctive landmark. Access into this high country is limited to forest routes such as FR 1913 and Mills Divide Rd, tracing paths through Mills Divide and past drainage features like Spring Gulch and Pine Gulch.
