2011 Map of Los Pinos

About this map

Rio de los Pinos and the Rio San Antonio converge in this high-altitude landscape, where the settlement of Los Pinos sits at the northern edge of the quadrangle. The map documents a rugged high-desert environment defined by the wide expanse of Pinabetal Mesa and the volcanic evidence of the Lava flows to the west. Ranching and mining history are visible through features like the T Bone Ranch and Cisnero Mine Number One. Transport and infrastructure are centered around the Big Horn Siding Rail Road Water Tank, a vital relic of the rail network, while the Llano Ditch suggests the historical management of water in this arid region. For those exploring the backcountry, several tanks and the Laguna Larga Campground near Laguna Larga mark the primary points of human presence among the canyons like Cañada los Ranchos.
