About this map

Ortiz Mountains mineral wealth is evident across this landscape, where mining operations and remote outposts define the character of the Santa Fe high country. The northwestern corner reveals the industrial legacy of the Dolores Mine and its associated Tailings, while the Ortiz Mine and a nearby Quarry indicate the area's geological importance. Settlement is sparse, represented by the isolated Bullmill Camp and various water sources critical for high-altitude endurance, such as Peach Spring and Cañamo Spring.

The terrain transitions from the heights of Captain Davis Mountain down to the expansive La Joya Flats. This dry environment is navigated via numerous drainage systems like Cunningham Creek and Arroyo San Lazaro. Evidence of ranching or utility infrastructure appears in the form of the La Joya Windmill and Indo Windmill, while the Trans Line cuts across the southern reach, marking the modernization of these traditional lands.
