About this map

Carson National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this 2013 survey area, defining a landscape of high desert drainage systems and isolated peaks. Small settlements such as Plaza Blanca and Madera Cañon are situated near the southern boundary, while El Puertecito marks a point of interest further west. The terrain is deeply incised by seasonal watercourses, including the Arroyo del Cobre which winds through the Cañon de Cobre, and the Arroyo Hondo. Distinctive landmarks like the high point of Sierra Negra and the geological formation of Cerrito de la Ventana provide orientation for those navigating the forest's extensive network of timber and access roads, such as route 749. High-altitude water sources like Ojito Soldados and Madera Tank are critical features in this arid environment, reflecting the historical importance of springs for local livestock and passage.
