About this map

The Municipal Watershed protected area dominates this landscape east of Santa Fe, serving as a critical resource for the region's water supply. Centered on the McClure Reservoir and Nichols Reservoir along the Santa Fe River, the map captures a high-elevation terrain where land grants like the Juan De Gabaldon Grant and Santiago Grant meet the boundaries of the Santa Fe National Forest.

Evidence of early 20th-century recreational and conservation efforts is visible at Hyde Memorial State Park and Evergreen Lodge, located near the winding Hyde Park Road. The topographical detail traces several notable summits, including Atalaya Mountain and Thompson Peak, and follows the deep drainage patterns of La Cueva Canyon and Apache Canyon. This survey illustrates the delicate balance between public forest access and the strictly controlled watershed management required to support the growing population nearby.
