About this map

Carson National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Rio Arriba County, dominated by the prominent summit of Broke Off Mtn. The terrain is defined by deep drainage systems like Cañada Rio Grande and Dry Canyon, which cut through the uplifted tablelands of Olguin Mesa. Water management for ranching and wildlife is a primary feature of the area, evidenced by a dense network of collection points such as Olguin Pit Tanks, Julian Draw Tank, and Alire Tank Number 1.

Settlement is sparse, though Stewart Meadows represents a localized point of interest in the northeast. For researchers, the map traces distinct local identifiers like the Tony Marquez road and traditional place names such as Rincon Negro and Rincon Apache. Perennial water sources, including Warm Spring and Cisneros Spring, provide critical nodes in this environment where the Rio San Antonio and Rio Nutritas flow through the high country.
