2017 Map of Valle Toledo

About this map

Valles Caldera National Preserve dominates this section of the Jemez Mountains, revealing a landscape defined by high-elevation valleys and volcanic domes. Large mountain meadows like Valle Grande and Valle Toledo are framed by prominent peaks such as Cerro Toledo and Cerro del Medio. The hydrological network is led by the San Antonio Cr and the E Fork Jemez River, which drain the caldera's interior basins. To the east, the terrain transitions into the Santa Fe National Forest, where steep drainage systems like Santa Clara Canyon and Los Alamos Canyon descend toward the Rio Grande valley. The map documents a network of historic pathways, including the Abrigo Trail and Rito de los Indios Trail, which trace the rim and floor of this massive volcanic feature. Points such as Pajarito Mtn and Sierra de los Valles mark the high eastern boundary where the preserve meets Los Alamos County.
