About this map

Carson National Forest spans the high-elevation terrain of this 1960s survey, where the convergence of the Mora Mountains and the Culebra Range creates a complex network of ridges and parks. The landscape is defined by traditional land grant boundaries, including the Beaubien and Miranda (Maxwell) and Rancho del Rio Grande, reflecting the region's deep colonial and territorial history. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the San Antonio Ch nestled near the headwaters of Coyote Creek.

High passes like Osha Pass and Quintana Pass connect deep drainages such as Rio Fernando de Taos and Rio Chiquito. Traces of movement through this mountain environment are captured in the numerous pack trails and jeep trails that navigate around Osha Mountain and through high alpine meadows like Corner Park and Jaracito Park. The eastern slopes drain into the Black Lakes, marking a transition toward the Moreno Valley’s open waters.
