About this map

Carson National Forest terrain dominates this New Mexico landscape, defined by a series of high mesas and deep drainage systems. The map detail highlights significant landforms such as Devils Mesa and La Jara Mesa, while the southern reaches feature Vigas Mesa and Chosa Mesa. Water management is evident throughout this arid environment, marked by isolated livestock and wildlife sources like Gomez Tank, Leandro Tank, and Valencia Canyon Tank.

Access through the area is defined by a network of specialized routes, including Horn Spring Road and Dry Hole Road, which weave between major drainages like Leandro Canyon and Valencia Canyon. The map reveals the functional infrastructure of the high desert, from the Gas Buggy Jaramillo route to various springs like Arnold Spring and Gettem Spring, reflecting a landscape utilized for forestry and resource management.
