2011 Map of Cerro De Los Taoses

About this map

Cerro de los Taoses and Cerrito Dormilon define the high-desert topography of this Taos County landscape in the early twenty-first century. The area is characterized by seasonal water management and an emerging network of rural access roads. Key water resources like Taoses Tank, Aquate Tank, and Sertion Three Tank indicate a land used for ranching and livestock, where surface water is carefully captured. The drainage of Arroyo Aguaje de la Petaca cuts through the terrain, while newer residential or ranching tracks such as Coyote Moon Rd and 2 Hawks Trl branch off from the more established Wolf Springs Ranch Rd. This U.S. Geological Survey record captures the transition of the high-altitude basin as traditional land uses meet modern rural subdivision and naming conventions.
