2011 Map of Mesa Cencerro

About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses much of this high-altitude landscape in Socorro County, where the topography is defined by the sharp elevations of the Bear Mountains. The map reveals a complex system of drainage and relief, with the namesake Mesa Cencerro standing as a prominent central feature above the deep cuts of Cañon Cencerro and Cañon Casa de Madera. Water sources are sparse but critical in this arid environment, marked by several isolated points such as Little Bear Spring, Winter Spring, and New Tank.
