1964 Map of Penasco

About this map

The Picuris Mountains rise above a landscape defined by ancestral land grants and traditional irrigation systems in northern New Mexico. This region is anchored by the Picuris Pueblo, where the San Lorenzo Ch and San Lorenzo Cem represent centuries of community history. The settlement pattern follows the fertile valleys of the Rio Pueblo and Rio Santa Barbara, where a network of gravity-fed ditches like the Acequia Madre de Santa Barbara and Acequia del Llano de la Yegua sustain local agriculture. Small mountain villages such as Peñasco, Rodarte, and Llano are densely packed with family landmarks, including the Virgilio Trujillo Cem and the Morada Cem. The presence of several churches, from the United Emanuel Ch to the St Anthony Ch, highlights the cultural center of these rural townships. Steep terrain is navigated by a complex system of pack trails and early telephone lines that cross the Carson National Forest boundary.
