2020 Map of Rincon

About this map

Rincon sits at a geographic pivot point where the Rio Grande corridor meets the high desert of the Caballo Mountains. This map documents a landscape defined by water management and transit, where the Rincon Canal and Angostura Drain represent a complex irrigation system essential for the agricultural life of the Rincon Valley. The settlement pattern follows the river and the historic rail corridor, with the small community of Angostura located near the riverbank and the Rincon Cem and post office marking the social center of the area.
