2020 Map of Mora

About this map

Mora sits as a central hub in a landscape defined by its high-altitude valleys and significant genealogical markers. The settlement pattern here is deeply rooted in the terrain of the El Oro Mountains and the Romero Hills, with communities like Cleveland, Cordillera, and North Carmen established along the watercourses of the Mora River and Rito Cebolla. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites, including the Mora Presbyterian Church Cem, Saint Vrain Cem, and Santa Gertrudes Cem, reflecting the long-standing family histories of this mountain region. The southwestern corner is anchored by the Santa Fe National Forest, where the terrain transitions into the steep elevations of Garcia Canyon and Tomas Canyon. These features, alongside landmarks like Eagle Peak and Cebolla Pass, illustrate a community traditionally oriented toward the valleys and the life-giving waters of Rio la Casa and its tributaries.
