2013 Map of Alamosa Canyon

About this map

Trigg Ranch and Williams Ranch anchor this landscape of deep drainages and ranching outposts along the border of Harding and San Miguel Counties. The map records a complex network of topographical features, including Alamosa Canyon and Rincon Canyon, where water management is critical to the local economy. A series of numbered and named windmills, such as Rincon Windmill and Windmill Number 3, are distributed across the terrain, marking vital water points for livestock in this arid region. The drainage patterns of Atarque Creek and numerous tanks like Seco Tank and Pothole Tank illustrate the hydrology of the High Plains before modern consolidation. Rural tracks such as Walker Road and County Road J-1 provide the primary means of traversal through Fowl Canyon and Persiliano Canyon, connecting isolated camps like CA Camp to the wider region.
