About this map

Volcanic landforms and seasonal drainages define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Rio Arriba Co Taos Co. The area is anchored by the prominent volcanic heights of La Segita Peaks and the nearby Wissmath Craters, which rise from the plateau within the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument. To the south, the No Agua Peaks provide further evidence of the region's geological history.

Hydrological features are sparse but significant, including the ephemeral Punche Lake and the winding course of Arroyo Punche. Transportation is limited to rugged routes like Forest Rd 418 and Forest Rd 87, reflecting the preserved and largely undeveloped nature of this protected public land. The map illustrates a transitional environment where traditional ranching or grazing territory meets modern conservation efforts.
