2017 Map of Cedar Canyon

About this map

Cedar Canyon cuts a deep path through the high country of Rio Arriba County, defining the drainage patterns of this upland terrain. The landscape is marked by a series of steep drainages including La Jara Canyon, Telephone Canyon, and Burro Canyon, which carve through the plateau. Water resources are localized at discrete points like Cedar Spring and several high-elevation bodies of water. La Jara Lake sits in the northwest corner, while Stone Lake provides a significant landmark on the eastern edge. For those studying land use, the presence of the Dipping Vat Tank suggests the continued importance of livestock management in these drainages. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, specifically marking the transition between ranges R1W and R2W across townships T28N and T29N.
