About this map

The Pecos River carves a winding path through this corner of New Mexico, anchoring a cluster of historic valley settlements including Dilia, Upper Dilia, and Llano del Medio. This landscape is defined by the relationship between the river valley and the high ground of Mesa de la Chamizalosa, where traditional land use and grazing are supported by scattered water sources like Salitre Spring and Chupinas Spring.

Infrastructure here follows the natural contours of the terrain, with Highway 84 and the Dilia Loop connecting these rural communities. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Dilia Cem near the river bend, while the mapping of named drainages like Cañon Blanco and Cañada Gomez provides a clear view of the complex hydrology that has shaped the settlement patterns of Guadalupe and San Miguel counties for generations.
