About this map

Redondo Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Santa Fe National Forest, marking a region defined by dramatic volcanic topography and deep drainages. In the 1970s, the area served as a significant recreational and ranching hub, with numerous sites like Redondo Campground, Banco Bonito Campground, and Las Conchas Campground distributed along the waterways. The presence of Headquarters Ranch and Triple H Ranch highlights the ongoing agricultural use of the open valleys, while the Cerro Pelado Lookout provided a critical vantage point for forest management.

The Jemez River and its East Fork carve through the terrain, punctuated by features such as Jemez Falls and the broad expanse of Valle Grande to the east. Transportation is largely limited to a network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails, emphasizing the wilderness character of the Baca Location No 1. Local landmarks like Los Griegos and Vallecitos de los Indios offer specific points of interest for those tracing the historical geography of Sandoval County.
