2023 Map of Pinabetoso Peaks

About this map

Pinabetoso Peaks stand as the central geographic landmark in this high-altitude border region where Taos County meets the Colorado state line. The landscape is defined by the intersection of multiple jurisdictional boundaries, including the division between Taos and Rio Arriba counties to the west. Transportation through this remote terrain is limited to a handful of thoroughfares, most notably Route 285, which cuts through the western portion of the map. Smaller access routes such as Forest Rd 118 and Gravel Pit Rd indicate a landscape managed for both timber and local resource extraction. The absence of formal town sites suggests a sparsely populated area where the natural topography and administrative borders dictate the layout of the land.
