About this map

The Bishop John Lamy Grant and San Cristoval Grant dominate this New Mexico landscape, illustrating the enduring legacy of large land tracts in the region. At the start of the 21st century, the terrain is defined by a network of ephemeral water features and ranching infrastructure, such as Chavez Tanks, Ojo Tank, and the Bar S Ranch. The presence of the San Miguelito Cem near the Arroyo Salado provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories.

Conservation and public lands are represented by the Santa Fe National Forest and the Eldorado Community Preserve, which frame the rugged canyons and mesas. Significant topographical features like Bull Canyon and Pine Mesa are punctuated by essential desert water sources including the Cow Spring Windmill and Ojo de la Vaca, highlighting the importance of every spring and windmill in this arid environment.
