About this map

Mount Sedgwick anchors this section of the Cibola National Forest, where high mesas and deep canyons define the landscape of New Mexico. The geography is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, notably across Salitre Mesa and the volcanic prominence of Cerro Colorado. Land use is a mix of natural conservation and small-scale resource extraction, evidenced by a Prospect and a Pit located within the rugged interior.

Water sources are vital and sparse in this environment, represented by named features such as Ojo Redondo and various livestock infrastructure like a Stock Tank. The drainage patterns are clearly marked through several named cuts, including Limekiln Canyon, Prop Canyon, and Diemer Canyon. This survey, compiled from 1940s topography and updated with 1990s imagery, details the network of forest roads and trails that traverse the forest boundaries.
