About this map

The Santa Fe National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Rio Arriba County, defined by the drainage of the Rio Puerco. At the center of the sheet lies the settlement of Jarosa, situated near the distinctive Teakettle Rock. This area serves as a transition between the San Pedro Mountains and the sprawling mesa tops like Mesa Pinabetal and Mesa Pinabetosa.

Resource extraction and seasonal access are evident through features such as Mining Mtn and the Rio Puerco Campground. The map reveals a complex network of forest routes, including Forest Rd 103, which navigate through deep incisions like Jarosa Canyon and Calaveras Canyon. Hydrological features are vital markers here, ranging from the Rito Cafe stream to isolated water sources like Martinez Tanks and Guardia Spring, illustrating how water management and natural springs dictate the movement and history of this high-country terrain.
