About this map

Caballo Reservoir dominates the eastern half of this Sierra County landscape, where the waters of the Rio Grande are impounded against the western slopes of the Caballo Mountains. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern transportation and irrigation infrastructure that defines the region, centered on the Caballo Lake Interchange and the primary corridor of NM-187. Along this route, the small settlements of Oasis and Caballo sit above the shoreline, providing a clear look at local property divisions and road networks like Percha Rd and Chavez Rd.

West of the reservoir, the terrain is etched by numerous drainage systems including Las Animas Cr, Percha Cr, and Nordstrom Arroyo. These watercourses have carved out significant features such as Bat Cave Canyon and Wild Horse Canyon. For those researching local history, the location of the Caballo Cem and the boundaries of Caballo Lake State Park offer important points of reference within the Rincon Valley.
