1963 Map of Canon Plaza

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Cañon Plaza serves as the primary hub of this high-elevation landscape within the Carson National Forest. The 1963 survey captures a region defined by its complex drainage network, where the Rio Vallecitos and Alamosa Creek carve through numerous canyons. The presence of a local Cem. and the Jaramillo Ranch provides tangible links for genealogists tracing families in this part of Rio Arriba County. Human activity is largely centered on water management and recreation, evidenced by numerous stock tanks like La Jara Canyon Tank and Burro Tank, alongside the El Ritito Campground. The topography is marked by significant names reflecting the Hispanic heritage of northern New Mexico, including Cañon de los Posos and Valle de los Caballos. Trace old paths through the woods via the Valle Grande Trail, which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle.
