2023 Map of Heron Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Heron Reservoir dominates this high-altitude landscape in Rio Arriba County, where the storage of water reshaped the local topography. The reservoir is fed from the north by Horse Lake Creek and Willow Creek, with the Rio Chama winding south toward the edge of the El Vado Reservoir. The map reveals a modern overlay of residential development and recreational infrastructure on the northern and eastern shores, characterized by a network of winding roads such as Sierra Leone Dr, Ladera Del Sol, and Alta Vista Trl. This concentration of naming suggests a shift toward seasonal residency and outdoor access in an area once defined primarily by the seasonal flow of the Cañada de la Laguna and the movement of the river.
