About this map

Mogote Peak rises above a high-altitude landscape of the Tusas Mountains within the Carson National Forest. This section of Northern New Mexico is defined by its complex network of seasonal water sources and livestock tanks, illustrating the area's history of high-country ranching. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the terrain, passing near named landmarks like Mogote Ridge and Pinon Mesa.

The presence of numerous natural springs, such as Jose Maria Spring, Blas Spring, and Elk Spring, alongside man-made improvements like Canevas Tank and Montoya Tank, highlights the essential relationship between water and land use in this arid mountain environment. The map also identifies high lakes and depressions including Laguna Pinabete Mocho and Laguna de las Ranas, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the t26n r6e and t26n r5e townships.
