2013 Map of Rincon

About this map

The Rio Grande cuts through the southern reaches of this landscape, anchoring a network of irrigation works including the Rincon Canal, Angostura Lateral, and Lateral M. This water management system supports the valley floor near Angostura and the wider Rincon Valley, contrasting sharply with the arid slopes of the Caballo Mountains that dominate the western horizon. The settlement of Rincon serves as a central hub, located near the 35-Rincon Interchange, where local routes like NM-154 and Dona Ana Co Road E-10 meet the modern highway system. To the north, the terrain becomes more intermittent, marked by natural drainages such as Rincon Arroyo and Barbee Draw near the high point of Grama. For those researching local heritage, the Rincon Cemetery remains a key landmark of the community's lineage in Doa Ana County.
