About this map

Potrero and the neighboring village of Chimayo sit at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape, where the Santa Cruz River is joined by the Arroyo de la Morada. The traditional irrigation network is visible through labels like the La Puebla Ditch and Reservoir Ditch, systems that have sustained these valleys for generations. To the east, the settlement of Cundiyo is positioned near the confluence of the Rio Quemado, Rio Medio, and Rio Chiquito, a vital water junction in the arid terrain.

Further south, the community of Nambe and the Cañada Ancha region are defined by a complex web of local roads, such as Cundiyo Rd and Juan Medina Rd, which connect the scattered agricultural outposts. The topography is dominated by dramatic rises like Cerro Pinon, illustrating the difficult yet navigable nature of the Santa Fe County highlands. Genealogists may find particular value in the location of the Cundiyo Cem, which serves as a central landmark for this isolated mountain community.
