USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
El Rito and the neighboring Las Placitas are the focal points of this mid-century New Mexico landscape, situated within the Juan Jose Lobato Grant. A complex network of irrigation ditches, including the Acequia Del Monte, Acequia Medio, and Acequia Del Madre, defines the valley's agricultural character as it draws from the waters of El Rito. This dependency on traditional water rights is a central feature of the local geography, supporting the valley floor before the terrain rises sharply into the Carson National Forest.
