2013 Map of Lagunitas Creek

About this map

Carson National Forest terrain dominates this high-altitude landscape in northern New Mexico, where deep canyons and mountain water resources define the land use. The map reveals a high-country ranching network through a series of named outposts, including Stewart Cow Camp, Brazos Cow Camp, and the uniquely designated Thomas Martinez O'Reilly Cow Camp. These camps are situated near essential water sources such as Rio Brazos and Rio San Antonio, which carve through the topography. The dramatic Brazos Box and the desolate Bad Lands highlight the area's geological diversity. Water management is evident through numerous tanks like Jawbone Tank and Discovery Tank, supporting livestock across Olguin Mesa and through Cañon Manga. This survey provides a precise record of the traditional seasonal grazing grounds and the primitive forest roads that connect these remote mountain holdings.
