2013 Map of Rencona

About this map

Rencona serves as the focal point for this landscape along the border of Santa Fe and San Miguel counties. The area is defined by a high-desert environment where water management is paramount, evidenced by an extensive system of catchments such as Jackson Tank, Huddleston Tank Number 5, and Tapia Tank. The distribution of family-named ranching sites like Witte Ranch, Martinez Ranch, and Huddleston Ranch suggests a persistent livestock economy in this portion of the Santa Fe National Forest. Notable landmarks such as Hogback Hill and Arrowhead Point overlook a network of canyons including Bobcat Canyon and Garcia Canyon. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Rencona Cem, while the road network is anchored by NM-34 and various county routes that connect isolated homesites like Jack Canon Place.
