2002 Map of Aurora

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Gonzales Ranch anchors the northern reaches of this New Mexico landscape, situated at the edge of the Santa Fe National Forest. This 2002 revision captures a rural settlement pattern defined by isolated ranches and essential community landmarks, including the Santa Teresita Ch and the Gonzales Ranch Sch. The terrain is deeply incised by complex drainage systems such as Cañon de los Diegos and Cañon Gordo, which channel seasonal water from high mesas toward the southern plains. The prevalence of named water sources and landmarks, like Laguna Seca, Bustos Well, and the West Tank, reflects the vital importance of water management in this arid environment. Moving south toward Aurora, the map documents several historic family holdings, including the Pablo Sena Ranch and Benevides Ranch, connected by a network of four-wheel-drive trails that navigate the mesas and arroyos.
