2013 Map of Billy Rice Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
Billy Rice Canyon and the surrounding drainage network of Rio Arriba County define this landscape of high-elevation plateaus and deep-cut arroyos. The map reveals a land established around ranching interests, notably the Leeson Ranch, White Ranch, and Post Ranch, which are linked by a network of county roads such as CO Road 370 and CO Road 529. The terrain is characterized by intricate geological formations, from the prominent Adobe Knobs in the southwest to the winding path of Cañada Largo. This 2013 survey illustrates how water remains the primary driver of naming and settlement in this arid region, as evidenced by features like Leeson Spring and the numerous named canyons including Cottonwood Canyon and Starve Out Canyon that drain into the larger basin.
