2011 Map of Chacon

About this map

Chacon sits at the southwestern edge of this high-elevation terrain, where the Mora River and Luna Creek meet. This early 21st-century survey documents a traditional northern New Mexico landscape of dispersed valley settlements and deep canyons, including the significant Lujan Canyon and Quemado Canyon. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted, such as the Chacon Cemetery, El Rito Cemetery, and San Antonio Cemetery, which serve as anchors for the local community. The eastern portion of the map is defined by the Rincon Mountains and the drainage of Williams Canyon leading toward Guadalupita. The infrastructure of the area remains closely tied to the land, with Luna Canyon Rd and County Rd-A034 providing the primary routes through this mountain-and-valley topography.
