About this map

Carson National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape of northern New Mexico, where the 1963 environment is defined by its deep canyons and expansive plateaus. The topography is dominated by the volcanic profile of Broke Off Mountain and the broad sweeping basin of Valle Grande. Water remains the primary architect of the terrain, with the Rio San Antonio and Rio Nutritas cutting through the forest.

Evidence of local land use is sparse but significant, centered on the San Antonio Cabin and a network of primitive routes like the Pack Trail and Jeep Trail that provided access for grazing or timber management. Family and geographic identifiers such as Cisneros Park, Cisneros Spring, and Tusas Ridge offer critical points of reference for those tracing the history of land grants and ranching activity in the vicinity of Olguin Mesa.
