About this map

Water management in this arid Sierra County landscape is evidenced by the Monticello Community Ditch and the Cuchillo Community Ditch, which divert essential flow from Alamosa Creek and Cuchillo Creek. The presence of small settlements like Placitas and namesake locations such as Roque Ramos and Ramos suggest a history of localized ranching and subsistence farming near the canyon bottoms.
