1964 Map of Los Cordovas

About this map

Rio Grande canyon walls dominate the western edge of this mid-1960s survey, where the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge spans the deep rift. The landscape to the east is defined by the significant land boundaries of the Antonio Martinez or Gijosa Grant and tribal lands including Tract A Taos Pueblo and Tract B Taos Pueblo. In the southeastern corner, the settlement of Los Cordovas sits near the confluence of the Rio Pueblo de Taos and Arroyo Seco, reflecting a traditional agricultural and residential pattern along the watercourses. Local history is anchored by the Pueblo de Taos Cem, while smaller industrial markers like a Gravel Pit and Gaging Sta indicate the era's local infrastructure and resource management.
