2023 Map of Abo

About this map

Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument serves as the focal point of this Torrance County landscape, preserving the intersection of ancestral Puebloan and Spanish colonial history. Near the settlement of Abo, the land is defined by a network of drainage systems including Abo Arroyo and Cañon Barranco, which carve through the high-desert terrain. Local genealogists will find the San Lorenzo Cem particularly significant, situated along San Lorenzo Rd north of the main ruins. The area's water management is evident through numerous named stock tanks such as Squatty Tank and Chilton Tank, essential for ranching within the Cibola National Forest. A complex web of contemporary and traditional routes, from the Old Abo Trl to the modern El Paso Gas Pipeline Rd, illustrates the ongoing human passage through these canyons and draws.
