About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses the northern reach of this high-desert landscape in Catron County, where the Crosby Mountains and South Crosby Peak define the horizon. The terrain is a network of ridges and canyons, including Maverick Canyon and the prominent Sugarloaf Mtn. Settlement is concentrated at Gutierrezville, situated along the primary route through the central flats.

Water management is central to life in this arid region, evidenced by a series of named reservoirs and catchments. Landmarks such as Sugarloaf Tank, Big Tank, and Johnnies Tank are scattered throughout the landscape, supporting ranching operations and wildlife. To the south, the isolated height of Cerrito Viejo stands as a distinct marker above the open plains, while an intricate web of local roads like Crosby Canyon Rd and Metate Ln provide access to remote mountain slopes.
