About this map

Comanche Peak dominates this landscape in the northern Mora Mountains, where high-elevation canyons and traditional land divisions meet the Mora Valley. The map documents a rural New Mexico landscape centered on the spiritual and community anchors of the region, including St Teresa Ch / Cem near El Turquillo and Immaculate Heart of Mary Ch to the west.

The presence of the Mora Valley Clinic along the Mora River indicates the valley's role as a local service hub, while the surrounding terrain is marked by numerous traditional Spanish-named canyons such as Cañada del Carro and Los Chupaderos. For the researcher, this 1990s update, based on mid-century aerial photography, preserves the locations of family cemeteries and remote mountain landmarks like Los Hornos and La Tierra Amarilla.
