About this map

San Antonio Cabin sits in the high northern reaches of the Carson National Forest, overlooking a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and distinct geological elevations. This 2013 survey documents a complex system of livestock and wildlife water infrastructure, including the Rim Rock Tank, Julian Draw Tank, and the Alire Tank Number 1. These named tanks are scattered across the high country between Broke Off Mtn and Olguin Mesa, indicating the area's continued importance for forest management and ranching.

The drainage patterns of the Rio San Antonio and Rio Nutritas carve through the terrain, while the southern portion of the map transitions into the meadows of Cisneros Park and the prominent Tusas Ridge. Names like Rincon Apache and Rincon Negro suggest local geographic identifiers used by generations of inhabitants and land managers in Rio Arriba County. The presence of numerous springs, such as Beehive Spring and Warm Spring, highlights the critical water points that sustain life in this high-elevation environment.
