About this map

The Pecos River valley carves through this northern New Mexico landscape, centered on the community of Pecos and the neighboring East Pecos. The area is a significant intersection of cultural history and varied topography, where the high elevations of Rowe Peak and Glorieta Mesa overlook the valley floor. To the west, the Pecos National Historical Park preserves ancient sites near the drainage of Glorieta Cr.

Local genealogy is anchored by the presence of Old Saint Anthony's Church Cem and the New Saint Anthonys Cem near the town center. The map documents a transition from the village density of La Cueva and its nearby La Cueva Canyon to the protected wildlands of the Santa Fe National Forest. Notable water features include Monastery Lake and the remote Ojito Escondido, illustrating the critical role of water in this semi-arid terrain.
