About this map

McClure Reservoir and Nichols Reservoir sit at the hydrological heart of this high-elevation terrain east of Santa Fe. Fed by the Santa Fe River, these alpine impoundments are surrounded by the dense topographic contours of the Santa Fe National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the massive rises of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, including prominent peaks like Thompson Peak and Atalaya Mtn.

Deep canyons such as Dalton Canyon, Apache Canyon, and Glorieta Canyon carve through the mountain range, illustrating the drainage patterns of the Little Tesuque Cr and Aztec Springs Cr. This 2017 survey documents the complex watershed and land management boundaries within the national forest, providing a precise record of the trails and rugged access points like Dalton Canyon Rd that serve this wilderness area.
