2013 Map of Pinabetoso Peaks

About this map

The high-altitude landscape of the Colorado and New Mexico border is defined by the Pinabetoso Peaks and the sweeping Punche Valley to the north. This 2013 survey illustrates a transition from the administrative boundaries of Conejos County, Colorado, into the rugged northern reaches of Taos and Rio Arriba Counties in New Mexico. The area is largely dedicated to land and wildlife management, evidenced by the Pina Game Water Unit and the Maestas Antelope Guzzler, which support local fauna in this arid environment. Infrastructure is sparse, consisting primarily of utility-focused routes such as Forest Road 118 and Gravel Pit Rd, reflecting a region prioritized for conservation and resource management rather than residential settlement.
