1953 Map of Canones

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The high mesas and narrow valleys of Rio Arriba County are defined here by a series of massive land grants and remote ranching settlements. The small village of Cañones serves as a focal point, situated along the Cañones Creek where the Capilla de San Miguel and the Cañones Grade School represent the community's mid-century civic and spiritual heart. The geography is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the banks of the Rio Chama and the Abeyta Trujillo Ditch in the north up to the high heights of Cerro Pedernal and Escoba Mesa in the south.
