2017 Map of Veteado Mountain

About this map

Veteado Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Cibola and Catron counties. This 2017 survey documents a region defined by its complex drainage network and varied topography, where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the western reaches of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, with Techado Mtn rising in the south near Wyche Canyon and Pine Canyon. Water sources are sparse but critical, evidenced by named features like Dutch Lake, Spring Ten, and the intermittent Deep Water Draw. A network of unpaved roads, including Co RD a046 and Co RD a047, provides the primary access across these canyons and draws, reflecting the quiet, rural character of this part of New Mexico. The map provides a detailed view of the natural landmarks and remote passages used by hikers and local ranchers alike.
