Carbon Springs and Baca Spring provide critical water sources in this high-desert landscape of Socorro County, where the terrain is defined by a network of deep drainages. Much of this territory is managed within the Cibola National Forest, a region characterized by named landforms such as Bear Springs Canyon and Cañon del Tanque Hondo. The ephemeral Rio Salado cuts through the northern portion of the map, while artificial water catchments like Boulder Tank reflect the necessities of local ranching and land management.
