2020 Map of Canon Las Cuevas

About this map

The deep drainage systems of Cañon las Cuevas and Cañon Cuevitas define the landscape of this high plains region on the boundary of Harding and Mora counties. In this modern survey, the terrain is characterized by a complex network of arroyos and canyons that channel water toward the southern reaches, most notably through Beaver Cr and Carrizo Cr. The presence of many family-named features, such as Cañon Juan Maestas and Cañon Piedroso, reflects the long history of Spanish and Mexican land-use patterns across these townships.
