2011 Map of Dulce

About this map

The Jicarilla Apache Historic District centers this high-altitude landscape where the Navajo River and Amargo Creek define the local drainage. In the early 21st century, the primary settlements of Dulce and Lumberton remain tied to their respective Dulce Post Offices and infrastructure like the Dulce Airport. The map reveals a persistent legacy of extraction across the terrain, with several mining and exploration sites such as the Tafoya Mine, Lumberton Prospect, and the Belino-Peisker Mine located between the mesas. Transportation is anchored by local routes like Stone Lake Rd and Quintana Rd, which navigate the complex topography of Archuleta Mesa and Dulce Mountain. These features reflect a community where traditional land use and modern administrative hubs coexist among the steep relief of Webb Canyon and Miller Canyon.
