1953 Map of Canjilon SE

About this map

Historical land grants dominate this high-altitude landscape of Rio Arriba County, where the Juan Jose Lobato Grant meets the Plaza Colorada Grant and Plaza Blanca Grant. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Arroyo del Cobre and Cañon Madera, which flow through the timbered reaches of the Carson National Forest. While the area is largely characterized by its complex topography and natural springs like Ojito Soldados and Ojito de las Cienaguitas, evidence of human industry is found at Las Minas de Pedro and Las Minas Jimenie. These inactive mining sites, along with a solitary Pack Trail, suggest a period of resource extraction and movement through the high country before mid-century revisions updated the landscape's features. Significant landmarks like Sierra Negra and Cerrito de la Ventana provide orientation across the diverse grant territories.
