2017 Map of Navajo Peak

About this map

Santa Fe National Forest and Carson National Forest converge in this high-elevation landscape of Northern New Mexico. The Rio Chama flows through the central terrain, punctuated by the Dark Canyon Rapid as it cuts through the complex canyon systems. Rising above the river are significant landmarks like Navajo Peak and the distinctive ridgeline of The Hogback. The area is characterized by vast mesas, including Mesa Golondrina and Mesa de los Viejos, which overlook a network of seasonal water sources and stock tanks. Smaller watercourses such as the Rio Cebolla and Rio Gallina feed into the primary river valley, defining the drainage patterns through Huckbay Canyon and Hart Canyon. The map reveals a land utilized for forest management and ranching, evidenced by numerous named tanks like Sapo Tank and Golondrina Tank.
