2013 Map of Canjilon

About this map

Canjilon sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Carson National Forest, where the mountain terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and mesas. The settlement pattern is closely tied to the water of Canjilon Cr, with nearby Placitas and Llanito de la Cruz illustrating the historic communal land use of the region. Local heritage is preserved at sites like the Canjilon Cem and Cedar Grove Cem, while the Canjilon District Ranger Office reflects the long-standing federal management of these timber and grazing lands. The map reveals an extensive system of water management for livestock, evidenced by numerous tanks such as Trick Tank Number Two and Garcia Tank, scattered between prominent landmarks like Mesa del Medio and Mesa Juan Domingo.
