About this map

Cibola National Forest boundaries define much of this western New Mexico landscape, where high-altitude terrain is dissected by deep drainages like Log Canyon and Z Slash Canyon. The area exhibits a distinct mix of ranching heritage and modern development, evidenced by the network of private lanes and forest roads surrounding Old Thomas Ranch Rd. In the central part of the quadrangle, the presence of Happy Mountain Airport and its associated Airstrip Rd suggests a community utilizing small-scale aviation to navigate this high-country environment.

Water sources are scarce, with Oak Spring serving as a primary named hydrographic feature near the foot of Horse Mtn. Modern subdivision is visible through a cluster of residential-style street names such as Turquoise Trl, Bluebird Ln, and Papoose Pl, which weave through the townships of t3s r12w and t2s r12w. The transit network is anchored by Greens Gap Rd, connecting these remote homesteads and ranches across the undulating plateaus.
