1952 Map of Montoso Peak

About this map

Montoso Peak and the high volcanic elevations of the Rio Grande Plateau dominate this landscape on the border of Sandoval and Santa Fe counties. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Arroyo Montoso and Arroyo de la Tetilla, which carve through the Santa Fe National Forest and the lands of the La Majada Grant. This area reflects a long history of traditional land use, where high-altitude water sources like Tank Thirty-one and Tank Eighteen supported livestock and local wildlife.
