1995 Map of Ranchos De Taos

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Ranchos De Taos and the surrounding valley sit at the historic intersection of Spanish land grants and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains during the late twentieth century. This survey details the complex system of traditional irrigation ditches, or acequias, such as the Acequia Madre del Rio Chiquito and Acequia de la Serna, which have defined the local agricultural landscape for centuries. The map meticulously records community landmarks including St Francis Cem and the Camposanto Jesus Nazareno, reflecting the deep-rooted cultural heritage of Talpa and Llano Quemado. Extending into the Carson National Forest, the terrain rises toward Pinoreal Peak and Tetillas Peak, while the boundaries of the Rancho del Rio Grande Grant and Cristoval de la Serna Grant illustrate the enduring legal geography of New Mexico.
