2011 Map of Sierra Mosca

About this map

Sierra Mosca rises above a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and high mesa terrain in this 2011 survey of the Santa Fe National Forest area. The map documents a rugged interior characterized by the deep incisions of Rio Medio, Rio Frijoles, and Rio Molino. Mining history is represented by the Santa Rita Beryl Prospect situated near Cañada de Amole, while recreational and resource management is evidenced by the Borrego Mesa Campground and the Sierra Mosca Trick Tank. The complex hydrography includes numerous seasonal and perennial flows such as Rito con Agua and Rito sin Agua, illustrating the hydrological patterns of this high-elevation region. The survey also captures the convergence of various Forest Service routes, including road 306 and 306a, which provide access to Mesa Borrego and other points within the surrounding forest.
