About this map

Industrial operations and high-desert ranching define this 1970s landscape on the edge of the Santa Fe National Forest. The northern reach of the sheet is dominated by the Nacimiento Mine, complete with a Tailings Pond and pipeline infrastructure, while the Señorito Mine and Padilla Mine are tucked into the drainages of Señorito Canyon and San Pablo Canyon. These extractive sites sit in contrast to small settlements and outposts like San Pablo and Lagunitas.

The rugged drainage of the Rio Puerco flows through the western terrain, flanked by numerous Gravel Pit sites and family-named landmarks such as Marion Butte. Traceable jeep trails wind toward isolated locations like the Blue Bird Ranch and Campo El Deseo, illustrating the sparse but persistent human footprint in this part of Sandoval County. A Sawmill Incinerator near the northern boundary points to the timber and milling history that once moved through these canyons.
