About this map

The Manzanita Mountains rise sharply in this 1990s survey, marking a complex intersection of federal, military, and indigenous lands. This high-altitude landscape is dominated by the Cibola National Forest and the Kirtland Air Force Base, which spans the northern ridges near Mount Washington and Sol se Mete Peak. The survey captures the intricate boundaries between the military reservation and the Isleta Pueblo Indian Reservation, including the Pueblo of Isleta Grant and the Isleta Tract.

Evidence of human activity in this demanding terrain is found in scattered mines, prospects, and a quarry, along with the Manzano Lookout and an Observation Cabin. Significant drainage systems like Hells Canyon and Largo Canyon cut through the peaks, while the small settlement of Workman and the Workman Az Mk sit on the western flats. The presence of Coyote Springs and Sol se Mete Spring indicates vital water sources in an otherwise arid mountain environment.
