2017 Map of Gascon

About this map

Santa Fe National Forest anchors the high-elevation terrain of this region in Mora County, where the eastern slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains meet the valley floor. Small, historically significant settlements like Gascon, Pacheco Village, and Monte Aplanado are scattered along the foothills, illustrating the traditional rural land-use patterns of Northern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, including the Rito de Gascon and Rito San Jose, which feed into the larger river systems of the Sangre de Cristos.
