About this map

The Sangre De Cristo Mountains dominate the landscape in this mid-1990s revision of the northern New Mexico terrain. Industrial activity is prominently visible at the Questa Molybdenum Mine and a large Open Pit Mine situated near Sulphur Gulch on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. These operations contrast with the protected lands of the Carson National Forest and the Latir Peak Wilderness to the north.

In the village of Questa, local history is anchored by essential institutions including Questa High Sch and multiple burial grounds such as St Anthony Cemetery and the Veterans Cemetery. To the south, the smaller settlement of Lama sits near the head of Alamo Canyon. The map records a complex network of water management, from the natural flow of Cabresto Creek and the Red River to man-made features like the Ditch system and the Eagle Rock Lake reservoir.
