About this map

Quemado stands as the primary settlement in this high-altitude landscape of western Catron County, anchored by local sites like the Quemado Community Cem. The map illustrates a region defined by water management and natural drainages, where named features such as Baca Arroyo, Rito Cr, and Escondido Cr intersect the local road network. The settlement of Omega lies to the east, positioned near the headwaters of San Ignacio Cr.

Southward, the terrain transitions into the protected lands of the Apache National Forest, where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the topography. Distinctive landmarks such as Mariano Mesa and Sweazea Lake provide essential orientation in this ranching country, while several isolated water sources, including San Ignacio Spring and Nutria Spring, highlight the critical importance of spring-fed sites in the arid environment.
