About this map

The settlement of Tajique serves as the primary focal point of this 2013 survey of the eastern slopes of the Manzano Mountains. Located within the Cibola National Forest, this area is characterized by a network of family-named ranching and residential sites including Riley Place, King Place, and Nelson Place. These settlements are connected by a system of rural routes like Co Rd A019 and Anaya Loop. Cultural history is well-preserved at the southern end of the map, where the Old Tajique Cem and the Tajique Catholic Church Cem stand near the local Tajique PO.

The landscape is defined by its drainage system, featuring numerous canyons such as Cañon de la Perra and Cañon de Terrero that carve through the forest. Recreational and community landmarks, including the Inlow Youth Camp and Tajique Campground, indicate the transition from traditional ranching lands to modern forest management and seasonal use. The rugged terrain transitions into the Manzanita Mountains in the northwest, marked by prominent features like Cañon de Chilili near the border of Bernalillo Co and Torrance Co.
