2017 Map of Chupadero Mountain

About this map

Chupadero Mountain rises above a landscape defined by the high-elevation peaks of the Jicarilla Mountains and the northern reaches of the Lincoln National Forest. This section of Lincoln County preserves a high-desert environment where topographic relief is significant, ranging from the depths of Hasperos Canyon to the summits of the Bald Hills. For those researching local history or genealogy, the Carrabajal Cem provides a specific point of ancestral interest, located south of the main peaks. The area is traversed by primitive routes such as Co Rd A036 and Co Rd 4036, which follow the natural contours of the land rather than a strict grid, reflecting the difficult terrain of central New Mexico. The map illustrates the sparsely populated nature of the region, where land use is dominated by forest management and open range.
