2020 Map of La Segita Peaks

About this map

Volcanic landforms and ephemeral waters define this high-altitude landscape within the Río Grande del Norte National Monument. The terrain is punctuated by the prominent La Segita Peaks and the distinct volcanic features of the Wissmath Craters, while the southern portion of the sheet is anchored by the No Agua Peaks. These elevations rise above a complex system of seasonal drainage, including the Arroyo Punche and its namesake Punche Lake, alongside the Arroyo Aguaje de la Petaca. This 2020 survey documents the border region where Rio Arriba and Taos Counties meet, showing a territory primarily accessible via primitive routes like Forest Rd 418 and Forest Rd 87. The mapping provides a clear view of the modern boundaries and public land distributions that manage this unique geological corridor.
