About this map

Rio Chama winding through the high desert landscape defines this Rio Arriba County region, where the traditional settlement of Abiquiu is flanked by smaller communities like La Careda, Buena Vista, and Barranca. The map captures a complex irrigation and water management network essential to the area's agricultural history, including the Rancho Abiquiu Ditch and numerous tanks such as Lobato Tank.

Divided between the Carson National Forest to the north and the Santa Fe National Forest to the south, the terrain is marked by significant geological features such as the Mesa de Abiquiu and Cerrito de la Ventana. For those researching local lineages or land use, the map details many local roads including Palvadera Rd and Cemetery Rd, alongside natural landmarks like Arroyo Blanco and Cañon Seco.
