2017 Map of Pinavete Canyon

About this map

Derramadero serves as the primary point of settlement in this high-desert landscape, situated where the terrain begins its ascent toward Armijo Peak. The land is defined by a network of drainage systems and arroyos, including the prominent Pintada Arroyo and numerous canyons such as Pinavete Canyon and Red Canyon. This topography reveals the critical importance of water management in the region, evidenced by a series of named tanks distributed across the mesas, including Joselino Tank, Prudencia Tank, and Apodaca Tank.
