About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape in Rio Arriba County, marking the transition between the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds. Much of the terrain is protected within the Santa Fe National Forest, where a complex network of arroyos and canyons like Canada Ojitos and Cañoncito de las Lieguas defines the drainage patterns of the region.

Resource management and ranching history are evident through several water-retention features such as Laguna Seca, Laguna Simon, and numerous livestock tanks including Rodent Tank and Tanques Tank. While the landscape remains largely undeveloped, the presence of various Oil Wells and Drill Holes points to the extraction interests of the early 21st century. High points like Bronco Hill and the installation of a Comms Tower overlook the rugged drainage of Wolf Draw and Bond Canyon, highlighting the remote yet managed nature of this National Forest land.
