2011 Map of Lobo Springs

About this map

San Mateo Mountains and the elevated terrain of Horace Mesa dominate this portion of New Mexico, where the landscape is defined by its network of springs and canyons. The presence of the Tietjen Ranch and several named mines, such as the Boone Mine and Rinconada Mine, indicates a history of both ranching and extractive industry. Natural water sources like Lobo Springs, East Lobo Spring, and De Armand Spring have historically been vital for sustaining life and livestock in this environment. Much of the southern territory is part of Acoma Pueblo Indian Land, while the presence of the Coal Mine Canyon Picnic Area and Lobo Picnic Ground suggests its continued use for recreation and land management under the U.S. Forest Service.
