About this map

Cibola National Forest defines the eastern high ground of this landscape, where the Manzanita Mountains meet the northern edge of the Manzano Mountains. At the center of this transition, Mt Washington and Sol se Mete Peak overlook a complex system of drainage canyons, including North Canyon and Lurance Canyon. The western portion of the map transitions into the restricted lands of Kirtland Air Force Base, marked by the presence of Mortar Range Rd SE.

Water sources are scarce but critical, evidenced by named features like Coyote Springs and Clear Water Spring along the Arroyo del Coyote. To the south, the county line between Bernalillo and Valencia counties cuts through the rugged Hells Canyon Wash. The map also documents an extensive network of tribal and service roads, such as Indian Svc Rte 60 and Tribal Rd 601, which navigate the lower elevations of Canada Colorada and Cañon de Sanchez.
