2013 Map of Burned Mountain

About this map

Carson National Forest terrain defines this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Rio Tusas and Rio Vallecitos carve through the mountains of Rio Arriba County. The presence of livestock ranching and timber management is evident through scattered markers like Bone Ranch and El Vallecito Ranch, along with numerous named tanks and springs used for water management in this arid environment. Significant peaks such as Jawbone Mtn, Burned Mtn, and Tusas Mtn anchor the topography, providing a look at the wilderness character of the Tusas Ridge area. Recreational infrastructure is centered around Hopewell Lake, including the Hopewell Lake Campground and several mountain parks like Sullivan Park and Deer Park. This 2013 survey provides an inventory of the forest road system, including Route 64 and various forest service routes that connect these remote canyons and ridges.
