2013 Map of Lybrook

About this map

Lybrook sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape where the border of Rio Arriba and Sandoval counties meets. The settlement serves as a hub for local activity, notable for its Lybrook Navajo Mission and historical commerce at the Escrito Trading Post and Mauzy Trading Post. These trading posts highlight the area's role as a meeting point for travelers and local residents along the sparse road network. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and arid landmarks, including the Blanco Wash and the prominent Sisnathyel Mesa in the southeast. Seasonal water sources like Escrito Spring and various arroyos, such as Alamito Arroyo, carve through the landscape, illustrating the geographical constraints and essential resources for those living in this remote section of New Mexico.
