2010 Map of Ojito

About this map

Ojito and its surrounding high-desert canyons are the focal point of this Rio Arriba County landscape in the early 21st century. The map centers on the small settlement of Ojito and the Ojito Post Office, located at the junction of several rural routes including County Rd 402 and Co Road 401. The geography is defined by deep drainages like Sleeper Canyon and the winding Cañon de los Ojitos, while Tapicito Ridge provides a high-ground spine to the west. Evidence of longstanding ranching and small-scale habitation appears at Huffman Ranch and the community of Bechdol. Further south, the terrain descends into Gavilan Canyon near the settlement of Gavilan, illustrating the sparse but deliberate distribution of water and travel ways across this part of northern New Mexico.
