Physiographic
map of New Mexico (modified from Wilks,
2005).

The geology of the Land of Enchantment can be viewed in several ways:
- Are you interested in our scenic landmarks and landscapes?
- Would you like to visit our state parks and monuments?
- Would you like to know more about the geology of Federal parks, monuments, and rufuges in New Mexico?
