About this map

Ojo Feliz sits at the base of the foothills in this high-altitude landscape of Mora County. The settlement pattern is largely clustered along Ojo Feliz Rd, where local genealogy is anchored by the San Yasidro Cem and the more isolated Casias Cem to the south. The terrain is defined by prominent volcanic-style peaks, including Cerro Pelon and Cerro del Amole, which rise sharply above the surrounding plains.

Water distribution in this arid environment is marked by scattered ephemeral features like Sand Lake, Apache Lake, and Laguna Salada, alongside the drainage of Wolf Cr. The ridge of La Cuchilla overlooks the northeastern section of the map, illustrating the transition between the mountain slopes and the high desert floor. This 2017 survey provides a clear view of the rural ranching and residential infrastructure in this part of northern New Mexico.
