About this map

Carson National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this landscape in northern Rio Arriba County, where high plateaus and complex drainage systems create a distinct topographical character. The terrain is defined by prominent landforms such as Bancos Mesa, Carracas Mesa, and Laguna Seca Mesa, which are separated by an intricate network of canyons including Wild Horse Canyon and Gurule Canyon. Water sources are sparse but critical, represented by the Velasquez Spring and the drainage of Cabresto Cr.
