2020 Map of Caballo

About this map

Caballo Reservoir dominates the center of this Sierra County landscape, where the waters of the Rio Grande are held against the western slopes of the Caballo Mountains. The settlement of Caballo and the nearby community of Oasis serve as focal points for local habitation along the western shore, supported by a network of ranch roads like Smith Ranch Rd and Carriage Dr. To the south, the Rincon Valley opens up, while the northern and eastern portions of the map are defined by a complex system of drainage, including Seco Creek, Ash Canyon, and Bat Cave Canyon. Genealogists may find interest in the Caballo Cem, located near the reservoir's edge. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of the mountains down through various arroyos, such as Greyback Arroyo and Nordstrom Arroyo, which channel seasonal runoff toward the river basin.
