2017 Map of Holy Ghost Spring

About this map

Holy Ghost Spring and Chamisa Vega Spring Falls serve as vital watering points in this arid stretch of Sandoval County, where the high desert terrain is defined by complex drainage networks. The hydrological system is anchored by the Rio Salado and Rio Puerco, which cut through a landscape of canyons and mesas. Transport routes in this region are primarily service roads such as Indian Svc Rte 95 and Indian Svc Rte 96, alongside the historic alignment of Old State Hwy 279. Local topography is punctuated by features like Semilla Canyon and the prominent Cuchilla Blanca Hill. This survey provides a record of land use in the high desert, showing the distribution of localized water sources including Soda Spring, Cachana Spring, and the Warm Springs located near Los Pinos Arroyo.
