About this map

Cibola National Forest dominates the high-altitude landscape of this 2013 survey, where the Manzanita Mountains and Manzano Mountains converge. This area is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and a sophisticated network of tribal and forest service routes, such as Tribal Road 12 and Indian Service Route 605, which navigate the complex drainage systems of Hells Canyon Wash and Cañada Colorada.

Strategic high points like Mt Washington and Sol se Mete Peak provided critical vantage points for regional management, evidenced by the presence of the Manzano Lookout Tower. These peaks overlook a series of deep cuts including Madera Canyon and Lurance Canyon. The reliance on local water sources is noted through features such as Coyote Springs and Sol se Mete Spring, which are vital markers in this arid environment along the border of Bernalillo and Valencia counties.
