1995 Map of Mule Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

The Carson National Forest landscape in northern New Mexico is defined by a dense network of water tanks and high-altitude relief. Central to this map is the Tusas Ridge, which runs alongside Loco Ridge, separating deep drainages like Mule Canyon and Martinez Canyon. The distribution of over two dozen livestock tanks, including Bicara Tank and Mesa Tank, reflects the importance of managed water resources for grazing within the national forest system. Evidence of local history and human presence is marked by the Tusas Cem and scattered prospects near the eastern canyons. Water sources like Barela Spring and the drainage of Guido Canyon highlight the complex topography that defines this section of Rio Arriba County. The mapping also reveals a system of gulches, notably Cunningham Gulch and Sawmill Gulch, that feed into the larger canyon systems of the high desert plateau.
