About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses the high-desert terrain of this McKinley and Sandoval County borderland, where the settlement of Eagle Nest sits amidst a network of canyons and mesas. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Cañon de Santa Rosa and Guadalupe Canyon, with significant elevations marked by Santa Rosa Peaks and the prominent Black Mesa.

Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by numerous tanks and springs including Guadalupe Spring, Ojo Frio, and Laguna Seca. The map reveals a reliance on forest service routes like Forest Svc Rd 550 to navigate the complex topography of Mesa Chivato and the Valle de las Animas. These features illustrate the managed use of arid ranching and forest lands in the early 21st century.
