About this map

Abiquiu Lake dominates the southern portion of this northern New Mexico landscape, surrounded by high plateaus and ancient canyons. The area is anchored by the renowned Ghost Ranch, a place of significant cultural and geographic importance. To the north, the terrain rises into Mesa Montosa and Mesa del Yeso, where the arid environment required the development of specialized water infrastructure like Trick Tank Number Three and Wild Horse Tank.

Evidence of historical land use and industry is scattered throughout the region, from the Horny Toad Mine to the former CCC Camp. Spiritual and transportation hubs are represented by the Christ-in-the-Desert Monastery and the Ghost Ranch Strip Airport. The map also captures several traditional land features such as Llano Piedra Lumbre and Llano Blanco, reflecting the area's deep Hispanic and regional heritage.
