2020 Map of Red Flats
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
The Continental Divide winds through this high-elevation landscape of western Catron County, defining a territory marked by prominent volcanic and geologic formations. Within the Cibola National Forest, the Sawtooth Mountains dominate the central terrain, flanked by distinctive landmarks like Lone Mtn, Capital Dome, and Castle Dome. The land use is characterized by an extensive system of water management features, including numerous stock tanks such as McWhorter Tank and West Pie Town Tank, which support ranching across the open expanses of Sunflower Flat and the Red Flats. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote character of the New Mexico high country, where the intersection of public forest lands and private holdings is traced by a network of forest roads including Forest Rd 312 and Forest Rd 316.
