About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses the high desert and mountain terrain of this central New Mexico landscape, dominated by the rising slopes of the Gallinas Mountains to the south. The area is defined by a sparse network of county and forest roads, including Granquivera Rd and Co RD 8079, which navigate the various peaks and ridges such as Round Top. Water management is the primary marker of human presence in this arid environment, evidenced by a series of named tanks and catchments like DuBois Tank, Sawmill Tank, and Pistola Tank. These features, along with names like Bog Hole, reflect the ranching and livestock history of the region where the Torrance Co and Lincoln Co line divides the high-altitude pastures. The survey provides a clear view of the topographic relief and the intersection of federal forest lands with private township and range divisions.
