1966 Map of Rencona

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Rencona sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape, a small settlement defined by its proximity to the Santa Fe National Forest and the rugged Valle de la Cabra. The 1960s terrain is heavily marked by family ranching and livestock infrastructure, evidenced by an extensive network of watering holes such as Huddleston Tank No 5 and Lake Tank. The presence of several family-named locations like Children Place, Witte Ranch, and Douthit Place suggests a history of homesteading and localized land use across the Santa Fe and San Miguel County line. Geographically, the area is dominated by striking formations like Hogback Hill and Arrowhead Point, while the local heritage is anchored by the Rencona Cem and a single isolated Grave recorded near the central canyon systems. The map captures a moment when traditional ranching life relied on these scattered tanks and wells to navigate the arid canyons.
