2017 Map of Pueblo Peak

About this map

The high alpine environment of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains dominates this portion of Taos County, centered on the prominent summit of Pueblo Peak. This landscape is defined by its deep drainages and sharp ridgelines within the Carson National Forest, where the complex hydrology of the Rio Pueblo de Taos and Pueblo Canyon carves through the terrain. The map illustrates a high-altitude wilderness characterized by significant peaks such as Palo Encebado Peak, Capulin Peak, and Casita de Piedra Peak. Numerous canyons, including Frijoles Canyon and Ranchos Canyon, intersect the slopes, highlighting a rugged drainage network that includes Capulin Spring. The absence of developed roads or settlements reflects the protected and primitive nature of this mountain territory, serving as a detailed record of the natural landforms and forest boundaries in the early twenty-first century.
