2020 Map of Cerro Negro

About this map

Cerro Negro dominates this portion of the northern New Mexico landscape, serving as a prominent landmark in a region defined by high mesas and volcanic peaks. The drainage of Gallinas Cr winds through the territory, supported by water sources like Ojo de las Gallinas and the isolated Laguna Salada. To the south, the foothills of the Turkey Mountains emerge, while Mclamar Canyon cuts through the eastern terrain. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote character of Mora County, where the topography is shaped by features like Encinosa Mesa and the distinct heights of Cerro de Ore and Cerro de Espia. The map provides a clear view of the complex elevation changes and the sparse water network that sustains this high-altitude environment.
