2002 Map of Rosilla Peak

About this map

The Pecos River valley carves through the heart of the Santa Fe National Forest in this 2002 revision, revealing a landscape defined by isolated ranching outposts and seasonal mountain retreats. The river corridor serves as the primary artery for local life, linking the Holy Ghost Summer Home Area and Terrero in the north to the tiered settlements of Upper La Posada and Lower La Posada further downstream. The map documents significant recreational and institutional footprints, including Brush Ranch, Camp La Salle, and Hidden Valley Ranch. Historical industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Mines in the high country west of Macho Canyon, while the archaeological site at El Macho (Site) marks an older chapter of habitation along the canyon floor. From the heights of Rosilla Peak to the drainages of Cow Creek, the map illustrates a rugged intersection of wilderness and remote habitation.
