2020 Map of Mogote Peak

About this map

Carson National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Rio Arriba County, where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the Tusas Mountains. This 2020 survey details a complex network of canyons and high ridges, including Mogote Peak and the prominent Mogote Ridge. The region is defined by its seasonal water sources, marked by numerous named tanks and springs such as Llamo Tank, Amarilla Tank, and the Acequia de troughs Spring. High-country basins hold several lakes, most notably Laguna Pinabete Mocho and Puertecito de las Ranas. The terrain transitions from deep incisions like Madera Cañon and Cañon Largo to the elevated expanse of Banco Lona. This map serves as a precise record of the traditional land divisions and hydrology of Northern New Mexico's timberline country.
