2017 Map of Lybrook

About this map

Lybrook sits at the intersection of high desert topography and critical water sources in this northern New Mexico landscape. The settlement is positioned near the head of Escrito Canyon, where Escrito Spring provides a rare point of permanent water in an otherwise arid environment defined by seasonal drainages. The terrain is dominated by complex erosional patterns, including the prominent Sisnathyel Mesa and a network of ephemeral waterways such as Blanco Wash and Betonnie Tsosie Wash. Crossing the boundary between Rio Arriba and Sandoval counties, the map illustrates the transition from the upland mesas down through Alamito Arroyo and Escavada Wash. The presence of local routes like Atkins Rd and Co Rd 377 highlights the sparse but essential transportation network used by local ranchers and those traversing this corner of the San Juan Basin.
