About this map

Leavry Canyon carves a central path through this section of Rio Arriba County, defining a landscape shaped by seasonal watercourses and high-desert drainage patterns. The topography is anchored by Tapicito Ridge, which separates the canyon from the southern flow of Tapicito Creek. Several significant water catchment features are identified, including the distinct Lower Leavry Pond and Upper Leavry Pond, which likely serve as vital resources in this arid environment.

Evidence of human transit and rural infrastructure is seen in the path of Pounds Mill Rd and County Rd 402, connecting the more remote drainage basins like Arroyo Compañero and Chico Canyon. To the north, Red Lake and Tule Lake sit in higher elevations, marking the edges of this drainage system. This survey captures the relationship between these ephemeral water sources and the local road network during the early 21st century.
