About this map

Questa serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey, situated at the confluence of Cabresto Creek and the Red River. The township's community infrastructure is well-defined, showing the Questa High Sch and multiple burial sites including St Anthony Cemetery and Veterans Cemetery. Beyond the settlement, the landscape transitions into the heavily timbered slopes of the Carson National Forest, where industrial activity is prominent at the Questa Molybdenum Mine near Sulphur Gulch.

Hydrological engineering is evident through the Sunshine Canal and the presence of several gaging stations, including the Questa Gaging Ranger Sta Sta. Recreational and rural development is captured via Eagle Rock Lake, the Columbine Campground, and the smaller settlement of Lama to the southwest. The terrain is marked by deep incisions such as Peñasquito Canyon and San Cristobal Canyon, which dominate the southern and eastern quadrants of the quadrangle.
