About this map

The high desert landscape of Valencia County is defined by its vital water sources and the rising slopes of the Manzano Mountains in the southeast. This 2017 survey documents the Cibola National Forest boundary and several named springs that have likely served as landmarks for generations, including Comanche Springs, Ojo Huelos, and Belisando Spring. The terrain is deeply etched by seasonal watercourses like Comanche Draw and Arroyo del Cuervo, which dictate the local topography.

While the western portion of the map shows an organized grid of residential planning and loop roads, such as N Rio Del Oro Loop, the eastern section remains dominated by natural features like Lomita Trigo and Cañada Ancha. The shift from structured township and range sections like t6n r3e to the untamed mountain foothills illustrates the intersection of modern expansion and the persistent character of the New Mexico wilderness.
