About this map

Carson National Forest terrain dominates this New Mexico landscape, characterized by a series of high mesas and deep-cut canyons along the border with Colorado. The northern edge of the survey follows the Carracas Rim and the San Juan River, while the southern reaches are defined by Laguna Seca Mesa and Cabresto Canyon. Industrial activity is evident throughout the high ground, with numerous Gas Wells and a pipeline traversing the mesas, indicating the region's mid-century energy development. Natural water sources are scarce, marked primarily by livestock tanks like Sanchez Tank and Box Tank, alongside named springs such as Velásquez Spring. Distinctive landmarks like Pecho de la Doncella and Cedar Rock Lookout provide prominent orientation points across this drainage network of Cottonwood Canyon and Eula Canyon.
