2020 Map of Amalia

About this map

Costilla Cr defines the valley floor of this high-altitude landscape, where the settlements of Amalia and Sanchez Canyon are positioned along the water's path. To the north, the Colorado-New Mexico border marks the edge of this territory, where the foothills of the Taos Mountains meet the San Pedro Mesa. The road network reflects a history of high-country land use, with the Amalia Logging Rd and Rito Del Utah suggesting timber and transit routes through the drainage basins of Ute Cr and Cordova Cr. While the northern reaches near Ventero feature modern developments like Panorama Blvd and Encantado Rd, the southern portion remains dominated by the steep elevation changes and natural drainages of the Ballejos Cr and surrounding canyons.
