1965 Map of Chacon

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Mora River valley in northern New Mexico reveals a landscape of high-altitude ranching and small Spanish-American settlements in the mid-1960s. The village of Chacon serves as the primary hub at the southwestern edge of the sheet, nestled where the valley opens between the Rincon Mountains and the dense timber of the Carson National Forest. This area is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Lujan Canyon and Williams Canyon, which feed into the valley floor. Genealogy researchers will find significant detail in the placement of the El Rito Cem and San Antonio Cem near the settlement of San Antonio, reflecting the deep-rooted family histories of the canyon. The map shows the transition from the irrigated valley floors to the high timberline, with numerous Jeep Trails and unnamed ranch roads winding through the canyons of Mora County.
