1964 Map of El Valle

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

El Valle and the surrounding high-altitude terrain define this 1964 survey of the Sangre de Cristo foothills, where centuries of communal land management are visible through extensive Spanish land grants. Large tracts like the Las Trampas Grant, Francisco Montes Vigil Grant, and the expansive Nuestra Senora del Rosario San Fernando y Santiago Grant dominate the landscape. The water systems are equally significant, featuring traditional irrigation channels such as the Acequia de Abajo de El Valle and Acequia Madre de Llano San Juan which draw from the Rio de las Trampas. This network of acequias illustrates the historic agricultural practices required to sustain the settlements of Vallecitos and Hodges within the Carson National Forest. To the south, the terrain rises into the Pecos Wilderness, marked by high summits like Trampas Peak and Jicarilla Peak.
