About this map

The high peaks of the Manzano Mountains and Manzanita Mountains define this section of the Cibola National Forest, where the borders of Valencia, Torrance, and Bernalillo Counties converge. This 2013 survey details a transition from the developing residential area of Meadow Lake in the west to the high-elevation wilderness of the east. The terrain is marked by numerous water sources essential to the local environment, including Piedra Lisa Spring, Yellowstone Spring, and the Albuquerque Trail Spring.

Evidence of early mountain access and recreation is visible through sites like the Fourth of July Campground and several high-altitude peaks such as Guadalupe Peak and Bosque Peak. For those researching local history or burial sites, the Bosque Peak Cem is a notable landmark located deep within the forest near Cahon de Torreon. The landscape is deeply cut by drainage features like Ojito Canyon and Garcia Canyon, which dictated the routes of historic trails and modern forest roads.
