About this map

San Antonio Mountain dominates this portion of the Carson National Forest in northern New Mexico, standing as a prominent volcanic landmark surrounded by high-altitude plains and canyons. This early 1960s survey records a landscape shaped by natural drainage patterns and seasonal water sources, featuring the winding Rio San Antonio and scattered alpine bodies such as Ursulo Lake and the Lucero Lakes.

Evidence of local resource exploration is visible through scattered Prospects near Red Hill, while modernization is marked by Radio Towers atop the mountain peak. The terrain transitions from the steep slopes of Lamy Peak to the deep incisions of Montoya Canyon and Malette Canyon. Cattle and land management history is also preserved through the detailed mapping of selected fence lines and a network of Jeep Trails that provided access to the high country of Cisneros Park.
