Rio Grande waters carve a deep path through the Taos plateau, defining the southern portion of this landscape. The settlement of Pilar sits at the river's edge, marked by the Pilar Cem and the nearby The Narrows, where the canyon walls tighten. To the north, the community of Carson is surrounded by the Río Grande del Norte National Monument, an area characterized by significant drainage systems like Arroyo Aguaje de la Petaca and Arroyo Noria.
