About this map

The Manzano Mountains dominate this landscape, defined by high peaks and deep drainage canyons. Capilla Peak serves as a central hub for activity, featuring the high-altitude Capilla Peak Observatory and a nearby Capilla Peak Campground. The terrain is marked by numerous springs such as Turrieta Spring and Bosquesito Spring, which were historically vital for those navigating the arid high-desert environment.

Infrastructure in this part of the national forest supports both recreation and resource management, including the Salas Forest Service Facility and several trailheads like the Comanche Trailhead. Small named locations such as McKinley Place and Chaves Place indicate localized human presence amidst a network of arroyos and canyons, including the notably named Cañon Sal Si Puedes and the winding Arroyo de Manzano.
