2010 Map of Rainsville

About this map

Coyote Creek and the Mora River converge in this high-altitude landscape of Mora County, where the historic communities of Rainsville and Golondrinas anchor a network of agricultural ditches and small-scale reservoirs. The area's settlement pattern is defined by traditional water management, featuring systems like the Buena Vista Ditch and North Golondrinas Ditch that feed the local ranching economy. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including the Sacred Heart Church Cemetery and Jager Cemetery. Major landholdings such as Salman Ranch and Sixtynine Ranch sit alongside smaller named settlements like Webere and Marse. The presence of the Rainsville Post Office and the La Cueva Reservoir highlights the dual importance of community centers and water storage in this high plains environment.
