2023 Map of Tres Piedras

About this map

Tres Piedras sits at the high-altitude junction of public and protected lands, where the high desert plateau meets the southern reaches of the San Juan Mountains. This contemporary survey captures the settlement near the northern boundary of the Carson National Forest and the southern edge of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. The terrain is defined by prominent volcanic features like Cerro del Aire and the No Agua Peaks, which rise above a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage channels such as Arroyo Aguaje de la Petaca. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Tres Piedras Cem and trace the small community of No Agua. The map also details numerous cattle tanks and small lakes, including Wilson Lake and Cissell Lake, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on water management for ranching and forest operations.
