About this map

The Manzanita Mountains define this section of the East Mountains, where Spanish land grants meet federal military and tribal jurisdictions. The map documents the overlap of the Chilili Grant and the Isleta Pueblo Indian Reservation, illustrating a complex landscape of historical tenure. Small settlements like Escabosa and Yrisarri are located along the eastern slopes, while the western portion is dominated by the Kirtland Air Force Base Military Reservation Boundary.

Deep canyons such as Largo Canyon and David Canyon cut through the Cibola National Forest, revealing a rugged topography of drainages. The presence of a local Cemetery and small residential clusters like Ponderosa Pine and Tranquillo Pine provides essential detail for genealogists tracing families in these mountain communities. A Quarry in the north points to local resource extraction within this protected forest landscape.
