About this map

Archuleta Mesa dominates the northern horizon in this high-altitude landscape where the Navajo River flows through the northern reaches of the Jicarilla Apache lands. The settlement of Dulce serves as a primary hub, characterized by a complex network of residential streets such as Navajo St and Jicarilla Blvd, situated just north of the winding Dulce Cr. Further east, the town of Lumberton sits along the Amargo Cr corridor, following the historical path of transport through the valley.

Tracing the terrain reveals a series of prominent landforms, including Dulce Mtn and the steep rise of Cuesta Monero to the southeast. Water remains a defining feature of this arid environment, represented by scattered sources like Atole Pond and the seasonal drainages of Webb Cr and Coyote Cr. The map captures the interface of established community centers and the rugged canyons of Miller Canyon and Abeyta Canyon, illustrating how modern infrastructure follows the natural contours of the northern New Mexico topography.
