About this map

Leavry Canyon carves a deep path through the high plateaus of Rio Arriba County, defining a landscape marked by dramatic elevation changes and essential water sources. The drainages of Tapicito Cr and Arroyo Compañero illustrate the intricate hydrological network that sustains this arid region. High-country water features such as Red Lake, Tule Lake, and the tandem of Upper Leavry Pond and Lower Leavry Pond serve as critical landmarks for land management and local history.

Surface infrastructure is dominated by the corridor of NM-537, which provides the primary access through the townships, while secondary routes like Pounds Mill Rd and Co Road 402 hint at the historical cattle ranching or timber activity common to the area. Notable landmarks like Tapicito Ridge and Bassett Spring anchor the map, offering specific points of reference for researchers tracing land use or topographic change in the Jicarilla Apache region.
