About this map

The Ojito Wilderness dominates this landscape in Sandoval County, defined by a complex network of arroyos and dramatic mesa formations. The presence of the Wagon Trail Trl winding through the center of the sheet suggests historical movement across this arid terrain, linking disparate water sources like Ojito Spring and Ojito Tank.

Hydrological features like the Rio Salado and its numerous tributaries, including Arroyo Ojito and Arroyo Bernalillito, have carved the land around prominent elevations such as Cucho Mesa and Bernalillito Mesa. Infrastructure in this territory is sparse, limited primarily to primitive routes like Ridge Rd 113 and Indian Svc Rte 3, highlighting the area's character as a managed natural environment where water management remains critical, as evidenced by Peñasco Tank and Marquez Wash.
