About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses the southern portion of this high-desert territory, where the drainage of Alamocita Creek carves a central path through the terrain. The landscape is defined by a dense network of canyons, including the namesake Pasture Canyon and Rock House Canyon, which feed into the primary creek beds. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of Catron County, showing how the land is partitioned by the Public Land Survey System into townships such as t3n r10w and t2n r9w.

In the northwest corner, the Rio Salado edges across the boundary near Cow Flat, while the eastern horizon is dominated by the prominence of Bell Mtn. Remote water sources such as Alkali Tank provide rare points of interest in a region primarily defined by its topographic complexity. The presence of established routes like Forest Rd 6A and Forest Rd 6B indicates the ongoing use of these lands for forestry and resource management.
