About this map

Rincon Largo and Mesa San Luis represent the primary points of settlement within this landscape of the Eastern Navajo Agency during the early 21st century. The map illustrates a complex network of seasonal watercourses and drainage features, including the Arroyo Piedra Lumbre and Arroyo Empedrado, which define the local topography.

Strategic water management is evident through the inclusion of the Cabezon Community Reservoir and the Laguna de la Leña, highlighting the vital role of water resources in this arid region of Sandoval County. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features such as La Cañada Santiago and La Cañada de la Lena, which channel runoff toward the more substantial Torreon Wash in the west. This survey provides a precise look at the ranching and community infrastructure, including the alignment of San Luis Rd and other local access routes.
