About this map

Seven Springs serves as a central hub for this high-altitude landscape, where the Santa Fe National Forest meets the San Diego Grant. The map highlights a localized resource-based economy and recreational infrastructure, featuring the State Fish Hatchery and several established sites like the Seven Springs Campground and San Antonio Campground. The transition from mid-1960s data to early 1990s revisions reveals more modern utility and aviation infrastructure, including a Geothermal Well and a Heliport near the southern boundary.

Water management and natural springs dominate the geography, with the Rio Cebolla and Rio San Antonio cutting deep through numerous named canyons. To the south, Fenton Lake State Park surrounds Fenton Lake and the Fenton Ranch, providing a clear view of the area's development into a regional destination. Notable for genealogists and local historians are the numerous family-named canyons, such as Bell Lawrence Canyon and Barley Canyon, which suggest early grazing or homesteading footprints.
