2023 Map of La Madera
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
La Madera and the surrounding high-country settlements of Vallecitos and Ancones are situated where the Rio Vallecitos and Rio Tusas converge within the Carson National Forest. This modern record of northern New Mexico shows a landscape of deep canyons and mesas, notably the Mesa de la Jarita and the Ortega Mountains. Genealogists will find a cluster of burial sites, including the Vallecitos Catholic Cemetery, Ancones Cemetery, and Trujillo Cemetery, which reflect the longstanding community ties in this river valley. The map documents the extensive water management infrastructure of the region, identifying numerous catchments like the Burma Trick Tank and Upper Abrevadero Tank that support livestock and local land use. These features, along with forest access routes like Jarita Meza Road, illustrate the persistent intersection of traditional ranching practices and federal forest management.
