About this map

Rio Cebolla and the Rio San Antonio carve deep through this portion of the Santa Fe National Forest, defining a landscape of narrow canyons and natural springs. The presence of the State Fish Hatchery at Seven Springs highlights the area's significance for regional conservation and land management. Further south, Fenton Lake and the Fenton Ranch indicate a shift toward established recreation and seasonal habitation during the early 1970s.

The map reveals a high-elevation network of drainage systems, including the complex forks of North Fork Ojitos Canyon and the curiously named Mushroom Basin. Remote outposts such as the Peñas Negras Cabin and the Seven Springs Guard Sta offer a look at the infrastructure required to manage these highlands. For the local historian, landmarks like San Antonio Hot Spring and Ice Cave Canyon provide specific points of interest that have long drawn visitors to this corner of Sandoval County.
