1995 Map of Tres Montosas

About this map

Cibola National Forest dominates the high ground of this Socorro County landscape, centered on the prominent peaks of Tres Montosas. The map captures a transitional rangeland where the forest boundary meets the drainage systems of the Rio Grande basin. The human footprint is defined by isolated ranching outposts and essential water sources, such as Evans Ranch and Cat Mountain Ranch, alongside scattered landmarks like Montosa Camp and Wolf Wells. These features indicate the persistent reliance on groundwater and intermittent arroyos in a demanding environment.
