2013 Map of Tres Piedras

About this map

Tres Piedras sits at a high-elevation junction where the open sagebrush plains meet the timbered foothills of the Carson National Forest. This 2013 survey documents the enduring physical landmarks of the northern New Mexico high country, including the Tres Piedras Railroad Water Tower and the Tres Piedras District Ranger Office. The landscape is defined by volcanic features like the shield-shaped Cerro del Aire and the distinct No Agua Peaks near the northern settlement of No Agua. Water management in this arid environment is evident through a network of catchments such as Agropyron Tank and Palmer Tank, alongside seasonal water bodies like Cissell Lake. The drainage system of the Arroyo Aguaje de la Petaca carves through the terrain, connecting a series of named canyons including Esquibel Canyon and Barela Canyon.
