2020 Map of Dos Lomas

About this map

El Puertecito sits at a crossroads in this high-desert landscape, where the northern expanse of the Cibola National Forest meets the boundary between McKinley and Cibola counties. The terrain is defined by prominent basaltic and sandstone formations, including the distinct Round Butte and the broad Mesa Montanosa. To the south, La Jara Mesa overlooks the drainage of San Mateo Creek, a landscape carved by seasonal waterflows like the Arroyo del Puerto. The road network, including San Mateo Rd and Ambrosia Lake Rd, reflects the region's connection to historic ranching and mining corridors. Significant land features like Flat Mesa Dos Lomas and the descriptively named Poison Canyon provide specific landmarks for those studying the physical history and land use patterns of this New Mexico quadrangle.
