About this map

Santa Rosa Peaks and the high ridges of northwestern New Mexico dominate this 2020 landscape, where three county lines—McKinley, Sandoval, and Cibola—intersect amidst complex topography. Small settlements like Las Carretas and Puertecita are situated near vital water sources such as Ojo San Mateo and Ojo Marquez. The area's geography is defined by a network of drainage features, including the Arroyo Hondo and Cañon Seco, which flow toward the San Antonio Valley.

Evidence of local transit infrastructure is found at Gallegos Bridge and Puerto Bridge, which facilitate movement across the broken terrain near La Mesa del Cañon Seco. High points such as B-52 Hill and Cerro Marquez offer perspective over a region where the names of springs and canyons, like Diablo Spring and Cañoncito de la Primallas, speak to a deep Spanish-American ranching and land-grant heritage.
