About this map

Comanche Springs and the surrounding drainage network define the desert terrain of Valencia County, New Mexico. The landscape is characterized by its intermittent water sources, where springs and ojos like Los Ojuelos, Ojo Alamo, and Ojo Jedeondilla occur along the western margins of the Manzano Mountains. These features, along with Comanche Draw, indicate a critical reliance on natural seepage in an otherwise arid environment. The eastern edge of the map rises into the Cibola National Forest, marking a transition from the broad flats of the Cañada Ancha to more complex topography.
