2023 Map of Sierra Fijardo

About this map

The Cibola National Forest encompasses a dramatic high-desert landscape across the border of Socorro and Sierra Counties. Central to this terrain is Peñasco Peak, which stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the deep cuts of Peñasco Canyon and Lumber Canyon. The area is defined by its water management features in an arid environment, including livestock or wildlife watering points like Ducknest Tank and Marcus Tank. To the south, the H Bierner Number 2 Reservoir and Aragon Wash manage seasonal runoff. The namesake Sierra Fijardo rise dominates the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, while the presence of Co RD c034 and Pankey Hdq Rd indicates the sparse but vital road network supporting the region's ranching and national forest access. This landscape reflects the rugged character of New Mexico's mountainous interior, where named points like Whiskey Hill and Rattlesnake Hill suggest a history of local navigation and land use.
