About this map

Cement Lake and its surrounding high-altitude drainage systems define this 2013 survey of the northern New Mexico landscape. The area is characterized by a high density of small mountain catchments and ponds, including Juan Vigil Pond, Navajo Lake, and Upper Burro Canyon Pond. These water features sit amidst a rugged topography of named ridgelines and canyons, most notably Dike Rock Ridge and the winding Telephone Canyon.

Modern transportation is centered on the corridor of NM-537, which intersects the drainage of La Jara Creek near the plateau of Long Bridge Flat. The presence of Pounds Mill Rd and various forest tracks indicates the area's ongoing utility for resource management or recreation. From Skid Camp Pond in the northwest to the descent into Burro Canyon in the southwest, the map documents a transition from upland forest to deep canyon terrain within the Rio Arriba highlands.
