2017 Map of Tecolote Peak

About this map

Tecolote Peak and the high desert terrain of Lincoln County dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Cibola National Forest. The settlement of Tecolote is positioned along Co Rd A032 in the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding cattle country. The landscape is characterized by a sophisticated network of water infrastructure essential for ranching in this arid environment, evidenced by named features like Roosevelt Tank, Martin Tank, and Abe Tank. High ground like ET Mesa and the drainage of South Canyon define the area's topography, while the Lincoln Station Airport provides a modern transportation link to this remote stretch of New Mexico. This survey captures the intersection of traditional land use and public forest management during the early 21st century.
