About this map

The high-elevation peaks and canyon systems of the Jemez Mountains dominate this landscape within the Santa Fe National Forest. Transportation through these drainages is defined by State Hwy 290 and the W Fork Borrego Canyon Indian Service Route 803, which navigate the complex topography between Ruiz Peak and Bear Springs Peak.

Evidence of human activity is concentrated at established sites like Ponderosa Camp and Elza Seligman Camp, located near the western boundary. The terrain is marked by a series of distinct geological features, including Borrego Mesa and Peralta Ridge, alongside numerous named canyons such as Guacamalla Canyon and La Jara Canyon. The placement of Chamisal Tank suggests the importance of water management in this arid mountainous environment.
