2013 Map of Jicarilla Peak

About this map

Jicarilla Peak dominates the high-altitude landscape of northern Lincoln County, where the northern boundaries of the Lincoln National Forest meet a series of ephemeral basins and drainages. The area is defined by its transition from peak to basin, where seasonal water flows from high points into Patos Lake and Lavade Lake. Local history and family genealogy center on ranching and early settlement, marked by the presence of Patos Cem near the banks of Patos Cr. Private holdings like Davis Ranch and Eldridge Ranch are connected by a network of rural county roads, including Co Road A036 and Bogle Rd, illustrating the modern management of these traditional ranching lands. This landscape remains largely defined by its natural topography, from the steep descents of Warner Gulch to the broad drainage of Reventon Draw.
