2023 Map of Lower Colonias

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Lower Colonias and Upper Colonias sit within a dramatic vertical landscape where the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Santa Fe Mountains converge. This 2023 survey documents the enduring layout of these small Northern New Mexico settlements, centered near the Santo Niño Cem and the waters of Cow Creek. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Cañon de los Trigos and Cañon de la Cueva, revealing a complex network of drainage systems such as Rito Cola Larga and Rito Ruidoso. Managed largely as part of the Santa Fe National Forest, the area maintains its remote character with landmarks like Cicuye Arch and the high-altitude Brazel Park serving as significant geographic markers for local land use and navigation.
