2017 Map of Holman

About this map

The Mora River valley serves as the central artery for this mountainous region of Northern New Mexico, where the high peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains meet the developed landscape of the Carson National Forest and Santa Fe National Forest. This 2017 survey details a unique cluster of religious and family burial sites near the settlement of Holman, including the Holman Presbyterian Cem, Agua Negra Cem, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary Cem. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the low river valley to the heights of Holman Hill and Cerro Picacho. Small agricultural settlements like Angostura and Walker Flats are connected by a network of local routes such as La Canada Rd and the La Morada Rd, illustrating the persistent rural character and genealogy of this high-altitude mountain corridor.
