1963 Map of Carracas Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Carracas Mesa and the surrounding high country define this rugged boundary zone where Rio Arriba County meets the Colorado state line. The map captures a landscape shaped by significant jurisdictional lines, showing where the Carson National Forest meets the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. Along the northern edge, the small settlement of Carracas is visible near the Carracas Cem, served by the winding Carracas Road. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainage systems, including Carracas Canyon and Cañon Bancos. These canyons provide natural corridors through the mesa land, punctuated by isolated water sources such as Toro Spring and Vallo Spring. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Frijoles Peak and the expansive Los Cuates Basin, while recreational traces appear at the Buzzard Park Campground tucked away in the southern reaches.
