2020 Map of Datil

About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Datil Mountains dominates this portion of the Cibola National Forest, where the settlement of Datil serves as a small hub at the intersection of local routes. This 2020 survey illustrates a landscape shaped by water management and natural landmarks, including the distinctive Church Rocks and Twin Peaks. The distribution of man-made tanks, such as Dean Tank, Norman Tank, and Rincon Tank, highlights the essential role of water catchment in this arid environment. Genealogy interests are centered around the Datil Cem south of the main settlement area. The map also traces significant geological features like Crosby Canyon, White House Canyon, and Indian Peak, providing a clear view of the drainage patterns and peaks that define the western New Mexico landscape.
