2020 Map of Chacon

About this map

The settlement of Chacon lies within the high-elevation valleys where the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Santa Fe Mountains meet. This northern New Mexico landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Mora River, which draws from numerous drainages including W Fork Luna Cr and E Fork Luna Cr. The community is deeply tied to its physical geography, with residences and small holdings concentrated along Luna Canyon Rd and Creek Rd 08. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies the Chacon Cem and San Antonio Cem, situated near the confluence of the river and Quemado Canyon. Much of the northern terrain is managed as part of the Carson National Forest, where the topography rises sharply into the Rincon Mountains and deepens into features like Marias Canyon and Bull Canyon.
