1983 Map of Canjilon Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Tierra Amarilla Grant Boundary cuts through the northern high country of this terrain, marking a historic division of land rights and usage within the Carson National Forest. At the heart of the landscape, Canjilon Mountain towers over a network of high-elevation water sources, including the alpine Trout Lakes, Blue Lake, and Cold Lake. The geography is defined by its deep canyons and drainages, such as Cañada de Chacon and Cano Canyon, which serve as natural corridors through the varied elevations. Evidence of land use and small-scale industry is present in the form of a Gravel Pit near Canjilon Creek, while the presence of numerous springs like Alkali Spring and Canovas Spring indicates the critical importance of water management in this high-desert environment. The map also traces a complex system of jeep trails and traditional paths that navigate the slopes of Magote Ridge and the broad Canjilon Meadows.
