About this map

Servilleta Plaza and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Carson National Forest define this 2017 survey. The landscape is marked by dramatic geological formations, including the high plateau of Petaca Mesa and the prominent volcanic rise of Cerro Mojino. The Rio Tusas flows through the western portion of the quadrangle, carving a path near Cañon Seco.

Water management is a central feature of this arid region, evidenced by numerous named tanks such as Servilleta Tank, Petaca Tank C, and Railroad Tank. These features, along with names like Comanche Rim and Cañada de los Comanches, reflect the area's deep connection to both its indigenous history and its legacy of ranching and resource management on public lands along the border of Rio Arriba and Taos counties.
