About this map

The Sangre de Cristo Mountains dominate this landscape where the boundaries of the Santa Barbara Grant and Mora Grant intersect. The settlement of Holman sits in the southeastern valley, adjacent to the Agua Negra Cemetery and the flowing Mora River. High-altitude irrigation is evidenced by the Sierra Ditch and La Sierra Ditch, engineered waterways that trace the contours of the mountain slopes to support agriculture in this arid environment.

The map reveals a rugged transition between the Carson National Forest and Santa Fe National Forest, extending into the high peaks of the Pecos Wilderness. To the northwest, the small community of Angostura is situated near the Rio Pueblo, while the seasonal camp at Walker Flats and the Scout Camp reflect the area's long-standing use for timber and recreation. Local topographic landmarks like Holman Hill and Cerro Picacho provide clear orientation points within this complex network of canyons and ridges.
