2023 Map of South Garcia SE

About this map

Laguna Pueblo Springs and Laguna Pueblo Seeps sit at the center of this high-desert landscape, where the seasonal waters of Arroyo Garcia cut through the terrain. The map documents a rugged topography defined by massive formations like Mesa Lucero to the west and the isolated Hidden Mountain in the southeast. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of limited water sources and indigenous access routes, such as Indian Svc Rte 548, in a region where the Rio Puerco defines the county line between Bernalillo and Valencia. The contrast between the flat expanses of Black Mesa and the deep drainage of the arroyos highlights the geological character of this part of the Rio Grande basin.
