About this map

Vermejo River and Van Bremmer Creek carve through this section of the New Mexico high country, defining a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal waterways. The drainage patterns here are complex, evidenced by a network of named landmarks such as Gachupin Canyon, Hells Canyon, and Valdez Canyon that converge toward the river valleys. Evidence of land management and habitation appears at Windmill Bremmer Camp and Van Houten Camp, while the upper reaches of York Canyon show a sophisticated water management system comprising York Canyon Dam Number One, York Canyon Dam Number Two, and York Canyon Dam Number Three. A series of dedicated roads, including Vermejo Rd and Van Bremmer Rd, provide access through the rugged terrain of Colfax County, linking these isolated camps and canyons.
