1952 Map of Abeytas

Community life centers on traditional settlements like Abeytas and Las Nutrias, each anchored by local landmarks such as San Isidro Church and Abeytas Cemetery. To the west, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor follows the valley floor, passing through Bernardo near the confluence with the Rio Puerco. The southern reach of the survey transitions into the protected lands of the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, marking a shift from cultivated grant lands to conserved riverine habitat.
