2023 Map of La Cinta Canyon

About this map

La Cinta Creek and Burro Creek define the drainage patterns of this high-plateau landscape, where the border of Harding and San Miguel counties meets. The terrain is marked by dramatic escarpments and named promontories such as Kicking Foot Mesa, Red Tongue Mesa, and the distinctive Turkey Head formation. For those researching local family history, the presence of the Kelly Cem near Cañon Vigas and the designation of School Section Draw provide specific points of interest on an otherwise sparsely settled landscape. A network of rural routes like Launbach Rd and Guest Ranch Ln navigate the complex system of canyons, including Hells Canyon and Archuleta Canyon, which dominate the western half of the map.
