1894 Map of Corazon

About this map

Chaperito and the small valley settlements along the Gallinas river serve as the focal points of this 1890 survey of northeastern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by its massive tablelands, including Carro Mesa, Yeguas Mesa, and the central Mesa Montosa, which dictate the paths of early travel and drainage. A network of primitive roads and trails connects isolated outposts like Torres and Mentosa to reliable water sources such as Gallinas Spring and Cabra Spring.
