2010 Map of Cerro Brillante
USGS Topo · Published 2010About this map
El Malpais National Monument and the expansive volcanic fields of The Malpais dominate this high-desert landscape in New Mexico. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent volcanic peaks and cinder cones, including Cerro Piedrita, Cerro Lobo, and Cerro Orqueta. These geological features provide a stark vertical contrast to the open expanse of Chato Flat and the low-lying basin of The Vega in the southwest corner. Transportation through this part of the Eastern Navajo Agency is limited to a small network of rural corridors, primarily County Rd 42, which winds past isolated water sources such as Laguna Brillante. The map illustrates a landscape where land use is dictated by the availability of water, marked by sparse improvements like the Brillante Windmill situated near the base of Cerro Brillante.
