About this map

Alamito sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape in Mora County, where the drainage systems of the Mora River and the Canadian River begin to converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of canyons, including the prominent Devils Canyon and Cañon Alamito, which cut through the mesas toward the river basins. Sparse ranching outposts like McDaniels and Laubhan suggest a rural economy dependent on the scattered water sources found at Pozo Azul and El Ojito.

Evidence of local land management and nomenclature is seen in family-named landmarks and utility sites such as Mensor Windmill and West Windmill. The map tracks the winding course of the Canadian River through the Lower Horseshoe Bend, alongside varied topographical features like the Banco Redondo and El Sierro. This 2010 survey reflects a period of modern mapping that preserves the traditional Spanish and local names of the region's complex canyon systems.
