2017 Map of Chupadera

About this map

Chupadera sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the high desert terrain is carved by a network of seasonal watercourses and deep canyons. The map documents a rugged drainage system dominated by the Chupadera Arroyo and the Alamito Arroyo, which gather runoff from numerous named canyons like Cañon Saladito, Cañon Latigo, and Cañon Trigo. These landforms suggest a reliance on ephemeral water sources in a dry environment, evidenced by the scattered water catchment features including Cueva Tank, La Cueva Tank, and Trigo Tank.
