2017 Map of Loma Creston

About this map

Santa Fe National Forest encompasses the northern elevations of this high desert terrain, where the topography rises toward Loma Creston and Mesita Cocida. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage patterns, including the winding Arroyo Arenoso and deep incisions at Canovas Canyon and Borrego Canyon. A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes provides the primary access across the high plateau of Santa Ana Mesa, reflecting the complex land management of this region. Notable landmarks such as Bodega Butte and Bear Springs Canyon punctuate the arid vistas, while the inclusion of the Public Land Survey System grid and Indian Service Routes like Indian Svc Rte 76 highlights the intersections of federal, forest, and tribal lands in Sandoval County.
