1995 Map of Sierra Fijardo

About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses much of this high-desert landscape in southern New Mexico, where the terrain is defined by complex drainage systems like Peñasco Canyon and Lumber Canyon. This mid-1990s survey illustrates a region where water management is critical for survival and industry, evidenced by the numerous named tanks and wells such as Ducknest Tank, Marcus Tank, and Peñasco Spring Well. The map captures a transition between rugged forest land and ranching interests, notably the Flying X Ranch and Sierras Madiano.
