About this map

Piedra Lumbre Grant and the Juan Jose Lobato Grant define the land distribution of this Rio Arriba landscape in the early 1950s. The village of Cañones serves as the central settlement, supported by the Cañones Grade School and the Capilla de San Miguel. The presence of the San Miguel Cem and Indian Ruins near Pueblo Mesa points to a deep timeline of habitation and community heritage in the shadow of Cerro Pedernal. The Rio Chama flows through the northern reaches, where the Abeyta Trujillo Ditch illustrates the vital role of traditional acequias in local agriculture. High plateaus like Polvadera Mesa and Cañones Mesa rise above the drainage systems of Polvadera Creek and Chihuahueños Creek, separating the distinct land grants and national forest lands of the Carson and Santa Fe National Forest.
