1983 Map of Canada Ojitos

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-elevation landscape within the Santa Fe National Forest in northern New Mexico. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and seasonal water sources, including Laguna Seca and Laguna Simon, which appear as rare catchment points in this arid environment. The map details the complex geography of the area's many canyons, such as Horse Heaven Canyon and Corral Canyon, highlighting the intricate system of cañadas and draws that funnel toward larger basins. Named features like Jesus Moya Cañada and Cañoncito de las Lleguas Gurule reflect the enduring cultural and linguistic heritage of Rio Arriba County. Surveyors also noted the New Mexico Principal Meridian, a critical baseline for land division across the state, which passes through the eastern portion of the quadrangle.
