2020 Map of Captain Davis Mountain

About this map

Captain Davis Mtn and Lone Mtn anchor this high-desert landscape in southern Santa Fe County, where drainage systems like Cunningham Cr and Arroyo San Lazaro define the topography. The terrain transitions from the elevated Los Cobreros Mesa down to the expansive La Joya Flats, highlighting the dry-land drainage patterns of the Galisteo Basin area. Named water sources such as Peach Spring, Cañamo Spring, and the Upper Rock Tank indicate the vital, scattered points of water essential for ranching and settlement in this arid environment. The map details a network of modern rural access roads and historic routes, including Wagon Trail Rd and Pioneer Way, which cut through the various arroyos. This survey provides a clear look at the contemporary land division and named geographical landmarks that have long shaped navigation and land use in this part of New Mexico.
