2020 Map of Elk Mountain

About this map

Elk Mtn and Mt Barker anchor the high elevations of the southern Sangre de Cristo range in this modern survey of the New Mexico high country. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several major drainages, including the Sapello River and Gallinas Cr, which flow from the eastern slopes. Remote camping and hiking locales like Mora Flats and the alpine Lost Lake are documented alongside the vast tracts of the Santa Fe National Forest and the Pecos Wild and Scenic River corridor. The map captures the intricate network of canyons such as Johns Canyon and Hollinger Canyon, as well as the distinctive Sky Line route. Water sources vital to the high-altitude ecosystem, such as Burnt Spring and Weener Spring, are precisely plotted near the drainage divides.
