2023 Map of Burned Mountain

About this map

Carson National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the mountains of Northern New Mexico, where the continental divide marks a significant hydrological boundary. The headwaters of the Rio Tusas and Rio Vallecitos drain the surrounding peaks, including Tusas Mtn and Jawbone Mtn. This area has long served as a corridor for movement, documented here by the modern Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the Tony Marquez Trl. At the center of the sheet, Hopewell Lake and Hopewell Ridge provide landmarks within a terrain defined by deep incisions like Buckhorn Canyon and Duran Canyon. The map reveals a land managed for its natural resources and recreational value, scattered with numerous stock tanks and springs such as Moeller Spring and Butterfly Spring, which support the high-country grazing lands of Sullivan Park and Deer Park.
