2023 Map of Jarosa

About this map

Santa Fe National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Rio Arriba County, where the settlement of Jarosa sits near the distinctive Teakettle Rock. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the heights of the San Pedro Mountains and Mining Mtn down through deep cuts like Jarosa Canyon and Calaveras Canyon. A complex network of springs and tanks, such as Aranda Spring, Guardia Spring, and Martinez Tanks, supports the area's hydrology, feeding into watercourses like the Rio Puerco and Rio Cebolla. Large plateaus including Mesa Pinabetal and Mesa del Ojo dominate the northern and eastern reaches of the map, illustrating the characteristic mesa-and-canyon topography of northern New Mexico. This survey provides a contemporary look at the forest roads and natural landmarks essential for navigating this part of the Jemez Mountains region.
