2010 Map of Tres Hermanos Peak

About this map

Tres Hermanos Peak and the surrounding high country of Colfax County define this landscape of canyons and isolated springs as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a transition between the elevated summits of Margarito Peak and Turkey Mountain and the deep incisions of Tecolote Canyon and Van Bruggen Canyon. Water management is central to the area's survival, evidenced by the presence of the Garcia Windmill, Moore Windmill, and several isolated water sources such as Rock Spring and Alamo Spring. Local industry and land use are reflected in the Shell Prospect and several named ranching or survey locations like Neill 3 Sauble and York-1-Tex-Mex. This territory is primarily navigated via rural routes like County Road C-34, which connects the high Piñon Hills and the drainage of Rondeau Creek to the broader New Mexico ranching interior.
