2010 Map of Cabezon Peak

About this map

Cabezon Peak dominates the northern horizon of this landscape, a prominent volcanic landmark in the high desert of Sandoval County. The drainage of the Rio Puerco carves through the southwestern portion of the map, fed by seasonal watercourses like Cañon Salado and Cañon Tapia. To the south, the massive landform of Mesa Prieta rises, its slopes marked by the winding Cañada Bonita. This area is defined by a network of ranching infrastructure and Bureau of Land Management routes, including N BLM 1114, which provide access to essential water sources such as Mesa Prieta Tank and Cabezon Tank Number 1. The terrain is deeply incised by Numerous arroyos, including Arroyo Alamo and Arroyo Cucho, illustrating the complex erosional patterns of this arid region.
