2017 Map of Anton Chico

About this map

The Pecos River carves a deep valley through this high desert landscape, anchoring the historic riverside settlements of Anton Chico, Upper Anton Chico, and Tecolotito. The map reveals the intricate network of traditional land divisions and irrigation patterns characteristic of this region, where the river valley transitions into the elevated plains of Llano Largo and Llano del Medio. Genealogists will note the Old Anton Chico Cem located near the village center. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features including Mesa de la Chamizalosa and the prominent Ben Ortiz Peak. Remote ranching infrastructure is visible through numerous water catchments such as Montecitos Tank and Frank Padilla Tank, while the northwestern corner reaches into the Santa Fe National Forest near Cañon de Valencia.
