2017 Map of Las Tablas

About this map

Las Tablas sits at the heart of this high-elevation terrain, where the Rio Tusas carves through the landscape of the Carson National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of dramatic mesas and canyons, notably the Mesa de la Jarita and the deep cut of Dorado Canyon to the southeast. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by a dense network of tanks and springs, such as Hondo Number One Tank, Lagunita Tank, and McIntyre Spring, which support the local ecosystem and land use. The presence of named features like Cleveland Gulch and Kiowa Mtn suggests a history tied to small-scale prospecting and grazing. This survey provides a clear look at the remote road network, including the Jarita Meza Rd, which navigates the complex relief between the Tusas Ridge and the Tusas Box.
