About this map

The settlement of Dawson anchors this portion of the Vermejo River valley, situated within the expansive Beaubien and Miranda Grant (Maxwell). In the late 1980s, the landscape here reflects a history shaped by both industry and topography, as evidenced by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad alignment following the river's path. Water management infrastructure, including a Headgate, Flume, and Gaging Station, highlights the engineered efforts to utilize the river within this high-altitude environment.
