About this map

The Pecos River carves through this northern New Mexico landscape, serving as the primary corridor for settlement and transit near the southern terminus of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Central to the map is the village of Pecos, flanked by its neighbors East Pecos and La Cueva. The cultural depth of the valley is evident in the presence of the Pecos National Hist Park and the Valencia Ranch Archaeological site, reflecting centuries of human habitation.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as the Old Saint Anthonys Church Cemetery and its newer counterpart, alongside the Pecos Post Office. The area's diverse land use is shown through the Lisboa Springs Fish Hatchery to the north and the Fairview Lode Mine on the western slopes. Transportation routes like the Old Denver Hwy and W Frontage Rd trace the path around the base of Glorieta Mesa and Cerro de Escobas.
