2013 Map of Gascon

About this map

Pacheco Village and Vallecitos anchor the eastern reaches of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in this modern topographic study of Mora County. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from high peaks like Pyramid Peak and Gascon Point down to the valleys of the Rio La Casa and Rio Mora. Within the Santa Fe National Forest, numerous alpine water bodies including Pacheco Lake, Santiago Lake, and Enchanted Lake dot the high country, while Morphy Lake sits lower near the settlement of Gascon. This map captures a complex network of canyons such as Ute Canyon and Garcia Canyon, alongside landmarks like Camp Davis along State Rte 105. The intersection of drainage systems like the Rito de Gascon and Rito San Jose illustrates the critical role of mountain runoff for these northern New Mexico communities.
