2023 Map of Tenmile Hill

About this map

Cibola National Forest defines the topography of this Socorro County landscape, where high-desert drainage systems and volcanic landforms intersect. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Horse Mtn and Tenmile Hill, which serve as anchors for a series of complex canyons including Big Rosa Canyon and Rosedale Canyon. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by a network of engineered catchment points such as Horse Mountain Tank, Wilson Tank, and Bald Tank. These features suggest a landscape managed for livestock or wildlife within the federal forest boundaries. The transportation network is sparse, relying on State Hwy 107 and forest access routes like Forest 330 Rd to navigate the rugged transition between the gulches of Milligan Gulch and the high ridges of Wilson Hill.
