2011 Map of Mount Washington

About this map

Sol se Mete Peak and Mount Washington anchor this high-elevation landscape in Bernalillo County, which is defined by a deep history of mineral exploration and rugged transportation routes. The 2011 survey reveals an intricate network of specialized roads, including Indian Service Route 601, Indian Service Route 60, and Forest Rd 530, which provide access to numerous legacy mining sites. These include the Isleta Quartz Mine, the Milagros Mine, and the Galena King, alongside several prospects such as the Eighty-Five Prospect and Moore Prospect. The presence of the Manzano Lookout Tower and diverse claims like the Quail Lode and Hardinand Claim suggests a terrain that has long been managed for both its natural resources and territorial surveillance. Drainage patterns are carved by Arroyo del Coyote in the north and the extensive Hells Canyon Wash to the south.
