About this map

Scholle sits at the junction of several geographic and administrative boundaries, where the Manzano Mountains descend toward the high desert drainages. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Abo Canyon and Priest Canyon, which carry seasonal runoff through the Abo Arroyo system. The area preserves significant cultural history at the Abo State Monument, part of the larger Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument complex.

Resource access in this arid environment is highlighted by numerous named water sources, including Bustamonte Spring, Saladito Springs, and Vega Spring. The infrastructure of the modern era, such as the El Paso Gas Pipeline Rd and various Forest Service routes like Forest RD 422, overlays a rugged terrain protected by the Cibola National Forest. To the south, Red Butte serves as a prominent navigational landmark among the branching cañons and the winding Co Rd B001.
