2013 Map of Abiquiu

About this map

Abiquiu and its surrounding small communities sit at the center of this 2013 topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by traditional water management and high desert terrain. The settlement pattern follows the Rio Chama, with several gravity-fed irrigation channels like the Abeyta Trujillo Ditch, Rancho Abiquiu Ditch, and Barranca Ditch supporting small agricultural pockets. Local landmarks including the Santa Rosa de Lima de Abiquiu and several outlying neighborhoods such as El Curuco, Buena Vista, and Barranca appear alongside geographic features like the Mesa de Abiquiu and Cerrito Blanco. This quadrangle captures the convergence of the Carson National Forest and Santa Fe National Forest, documenting the complex boundary between public forest lands and established private holdings in Rio Arriba County.
