About this map

Navajo Lake and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of Rio Arriba County define this landscape. The map highlights a series of isolated water features, including Skid Camp Pond, Juan Vigil Pond, and the namesake Cement Lake. These scattered ponds suggest a reliance on localized water sources for cattle or wildlife in an otherwise demanding environment.

Transport through this part of New Mexico is guided by the geography of La Jara Canyon and Telephone Canyon, with Pounds Mill Rd serving as a primary corridor through the area. Notable terrain markers like Dike Rock Ridge and Long Bridge Flat provide orientation in a region dominated by intricate contour lines and drainage systems like La Jara Cr. The grid of Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t29n r2w and t28n r3w, remains a prominent structural feature of the land division here.
