2023 Map of La Jara Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

La Jara Peak and the surrounding high desert terrain in Socorro County define this portion of the Cibola National Forest. The landscape is a network of water-dependent landmarks, from the Juan De Dios Tank in the north to numerous natural springs like El Chupadero Spring and Riley Spring that have historically sustained life in this arid environment. Significant elevation markers such as Monument Hill and Sierra Lucero overlook the deep cuts of the Rio Salado and Cañon del Alamito. Primitive routes like Buricito Rd and Cam Sierra Ladrone thread through the canyons and across the Mesa de la Cienaga, tracing paths through a geography defined by its seasonal hydrology and cattle-ranching heritage, evidenced by locations such as Mina Tank and Bull Tank.
