About this map

The Cibola National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Cibola County, where the southern reaches of the San Mateo Mountains meet the vast tablelands of Horace Mesa and La Jara Mesa. This modern survey documents a critical stretch of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl as it traverses the divide between Lobo Canyon and the headwaters of Rinconada Creek.

Hydrological features are central to this arid environment, with numerous vital water sources like Lobo Springs, East Lobo Spring, and Dr Armand Spring supporting the local ecosystem. The map detail highlights a complex network of forest access routes, including Lobo Canyon Rd and Indian Svc Rte 44, providing a clear view of the transition from the volcanic geography of East Grants Ridge to the deep incisions of Tafoya Canyon.
