Tapicito Ridge and the surrounding high country of Rio Arriba County define this 2023 landscape, where the settlements of Ojito and Tapicitoes sit amidst a network of canyons. The drainage patterns of Gavilan Canyon and Bear Canyon reveal a geography shaped by seasonal water flow, culminating in features like Rucker Lake and the deep incisions of Cañon de los Ojitos. This modern survey illustrates how traditional land use persists in northern New Mexico, with a sparse road network including Co RD 402 and Co RD 398 connecting isolated ranching or residential areas. Researchers can locate Gavilan Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle, while aviation history is represented by the uniquely named Murrow Field on the Divide Airport near the eastern boundary.
