2023 Map of Laguna Canoneros

About this map

Casa Fria sits at the base of rising terrain within the Cibola National Forest, marking a pocket of settlement in this high-desert landscape. The area is defined by a complex hydrographic system of lagoons and seasonal drainages, including the eponymous Laguna Cañoneros and the curious Panama Canal water feature near Cerro Redondo. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the deeply incised Seboyeta Canyon and the headwaters of the Rio Paguate, where the terrain drops sharply from high mesas. Notable landforms like Cerro Chivato and Mesa Chivato rise above the surrounding flats, while the northern section features a series of distinct basins such as Laguna Vieja and Laguna Blanquita. The McKinley and Cibola county line bisects the territory, highlighting the administrative boundaries that overlay this network of volcanic cerros and desert lagunas.
