2023 Map of Horse Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Continental Divide winds through this high-elevation landscape in Rio Arriba County, where the topography is defined by significant mesas and steep drainage canyons. The namesake Horse Lake serves as a central hydrological feature, flanked by the massive Horse Lake Mesa to the south and the dramatic Tecolote Rim rising to the east. The drainage network is complex, with Horse Lake Creek and Boulder Creek cutting through terrain marked by deep features like Sulphur Canyon and Boiler Canyon. Numerous smaller water bodies, including Paiz Pond, Turkey Pond, Grouse Pond, and Cinnamon Lake, suggest a high-country environment where seasonal and permanent water sources were vital for local land use. This modern survey captures the enduring physical boundaries of the land, including the intersection of t30n r1e and t30n r2e, highlighting a region where natural barriers like Loma Prado and Horse Lake Gap have long dictated movement.
