2023 Map of Ice Caves

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Bandera Crater and the volcanic terrain of the Cibola National Forest dominate this high-desert landscape in New Mexico. The area is defined by its namesake geological formations, where ancient lava flows and cinder cones like Lava Crater, Lost Woman Crater, and Twin Craters provide a stark look at the region's geothermal history. These features are accessible via the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl, which winds north past Cerro Bandera and south through the heart of the malpais. The southern reaches of the map include the West Malpais Wilderness, a protected area of volcanic rock and sparse vegetation. Hikers and researchers can trace the El Calderon Loop Trl or follow the Pack Trl across open flats like Mesita Blanca, while the presence of Laguna Juan Garcia in the northwest corner highlights the few water sources found in this arid expanse.
