2010 Map of Pinabetoso Peaks

About this map

Pinabetoso Peaks anchor the southern landscape of this high-desert region in Rio Arriba County, where the infrastructure of wildlife management meets a remote transportation corridor. The map highlights specialized resource points such as the Maestas Antelope Guzzler and the Pina Game Water Unit, illustrating the modern efforts to support native species in an arid environment. Sliced by the long stretch of Highway 285, the area is defined by its sparse human footprint, prioritizing range management and natural land preservation over dense settlement. The topography revealed by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a network of seasonal watercourses and primitive roads that serve these isolated landmarks and cattle ranges near the Colorado border.
