About this map

Puertecito serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Sandoval County, where a network of ephemeral watercourses and canyons defines the settlement pattern. The terrain is deeply etched by significant drainage systems such as Arroyo Tonque and Arroyo Coyote, which converge and wind toward the northwest. Historical land use is evident in the presence of Tejon Cem near Cañon Tejon, and the preservation of natural lands within the Cibola National Forest and the Golden Open Space. These protected areas stand alongside remote outposts and local routes like La Madera Rd and Puertocto Rd. Named water sources like San Francisco Spring and Escondido Spring highlight the critical role of water in this arid region, providing a detailed look at the geography of the southwestern edge of the Sangre de Cristo foothills.
