About this map

Tres Hermanos Peak and the prominent Turkey Mountain define this high-altitude landscape in Colfax County. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainages, including Rondeau Creek, Rio del Plano, and the winding Tinaja Creek to the north. These watercourses are flanked by numerous canyons such as Slagel Canyon, Screw Plate Canyon, and Van Bruggen Canyon, which speak to the complex erosion patterns of the region.

Several essential water sources are identified for local history and land use, including Notch-in-the-Rock Spring, Allen Spring, and Rock Spring. While the area is primarily characterized by its topography, including the Piñon Hills and the Three Sisters, it is accessible via local routes like Laughlin Peak Rd and Eagle Tail Rd. Landmarks such as Cerro Ermitano and Shoemaker Hill provide distinct navigational points across the high mesas and arroyos.
