About this map

Carson National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Northern New Mexico, where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through a complex system of canyons and mesas. The geography is characterized by significant water sources and drainage systems, including the headwaters of the Rio Brazos, Rio San Antonio, and Lagunitas Creek. The presence of numerous livestock-related water features such as Spring Tank Number Two, Discovery Tank, and Amado Tank reflects the region's enduring grazing economy.

Topographic landmarks like Olguin Mesa and the Brazos Box provide prominent reference points for those navigating the area's sharp elevation changes. The map also records localized land use along the Tony Marquez route, situated in the southeastern reaches of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey captures the intersection of federally managed wilderness and the vital watershed networks of Rio Arriba County.
