2020 Map of Llaves
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Llaves sits at the southwestern edge of a high-elevation landscape dominated by the Santa Fe National Forest and the imposing Gallina Mountain. This 2020 survey documents a complex system of water management in an arid environment, characterized by numerous named tanks such as Sawmill Tank, Mister Tank, and Fickle Tank used to support livestock and land use. The drainage patterns are defined by the Rio Gallina and seasonal watercourses like Arroyo Archuleta and Chupadero Arroyo. The terrain rises sharply from the valley floor toward prominent landmarks including Gallina Peak and Dead Man Peak. These geographic features reflect a legacy of ranching and forestry, where the naming of small water sources like Alkali Spring or Pollywog Pond was vital for navigation and survival in the Rio Arriba backcountry.
