About this map

The high desert landscape of Santa Fe National Forest characterizes this Santa Fe County region, where deep drainages like Piedra Lumbre Canyon and Bull Canyon carve through the arid terrain. The map traces a network of water-dependent features essential to local life, including Ojo de la Vaca and Ojo Abajeños, alongside numerous tanks like Horse Tank and Salado Tank.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around the small community of San Miguelito, where the San Miguelito Cem sits near the Cañada de la Vaca. To the north, Lamy marks a key point near Galisteo Cr, reflecting the area's historical reliance on seasonal water sources. The rugged topography is further defined by Pine Mesa and the winding course of the San Cristobal Arroyo, illustrating a landscape shaped by intermittent flows and high-altitude mesas.
