About this map

Spanish land grants define the geography of this Northern New Mexico landscape, where the Plaza Blanca Grant, Plaza Colorada Grant, and Juan Jose Lobato Grant converge. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Arroyo del Cobre and Arroyo de la Ventana, reflecting a rugged environment that historically supported small-scale mining and seasonal grazing. Evidence of past industry is preserved in labels for Las Minas de Pedro (Inactive) and Las Minas Jimmie (Inactive), both located within the canyon systems south of the Carson National Forest boundary.
