2020 Map of White Oaks North

About this map

Jicarilla and the northern outskirts of White Oaks define this high-altitude landscape within the Lincoln National Forest. The map documents a rugged terrain shaped by the Jicarilla Mountains, where peaks like Ancho Peak and Monument Peak rise above a complex network of canyons and gulches. Evidence of early mining-era settlement remains visible through the presence of the Jicarilla Cem and Reventon Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogy. The importance of water management in this arid environment is highlighted by numerous artificial catchments, including Hoecradle Tank, Ancho Tank, and Dillard Tank. Transportation through these high basins is facilitated by established routes such as Coyote Canyon Road and the Barber Springs Trail. Distinctive geological formations, from Castle Garden Mesa to Patos Mtn, overlook smaller settlements like Reventon, providing a clear picture of the historical and geographical layout of this corner of Lincoln County.
