2020 Map of Jicarita Peak

About this map

Jicarita Peak and Little Jicarita Peak dominate the high-elevation divide between the Carson National Forest and Santa Fe National Forest in this northern New Mexico survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the Santa Fe Mountains, marked by deep drainage systems like Osha Canyon and Comales Canyon. Water resources are a central feature of the terrain, with the Rio Santa Barbara branching into multiple forks, and high-altitude basins holding Serpent Lake and Horseshoe Lake.
