2017 Map of Correo

About this map

Correo and Highland Meadows sit at a significant geographical and historical crossroads in Valencia County, where the path of Old Hwy 66 follows the natural drainage of the Rio San Jose. The landscape is defined by its arid water management and indigenous route networks, evidenced by a series of cisterns and arroyos such as Valentine Tank, East Tank, and Arroyo Lucero. To the east, Suwanee marks a point of transition near the Cibola and Valencia County line. The terrain rises toward the distinct landform of Mesa Redonda in the southeast, while numerous Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Indian Svc Rte 544 and Indian Svc Rte 547, crisscross the western sections. This map documents a high-desert environment where modern transportation corridors and traditional land use patterns overlap near sources like Coyote Spring and Suwanee Spring.
