2010 Map of Alamosa Creek

About this map

Alamosa Creek and its complex network of seasonal tributaries define this high-plains landscape in Mora County. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching territory where water sources like Bootlegger Spring, El Rincon Spring, and MacArthur Tank are critical markers of utility and survival. The settlement pattern is characterized by isolated homesteads and ranching outposts, including Thompson Ranch and Daniels Ranch, alongside small nodes such as Vega and Sixtysix. Narrow canyons like Cañon Alamito and Bootlegger Canyon cut through the terrain, illustrating the geological forces that shaped this region. Significant landmarks like Mobil 1 Wooten point to the modern industrial presence amidst the traditional livestock-driven landscape of the Cuernudo Hills.
