About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses the southern portion of this high-altitude landscape, where the terrain transitions into the peaks of Rough Mtn and Pine Hill. The settlement of Gallinas sits at a crossroads in the southeast, connected by the local network of Gallinas Station Rd and Bonita Canyon Rd. This area is defined by its drainage systems, featuring several prominent canyons including Red Cloud Canyon, Largo Canyon, and Bonita Canyon.

Water management in this arid environment is evident through a series of named tanks used for local livestock or land management. These landmarks, such as Stroope Tank, Porter Tank, and Jenkins Tank, serve as vital points of reference across the rural sections of Lincoln County. The map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including ranges t1s r11e through t2s r13e, which organize the homesteads and ranch lands of the region.
