2020 Map of Tancosa Windmill
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Chacon Canyon cuts through the high desert landscape of Sandoval County, serving as a primary geographic feature in this sparsely settled region. The terrain is defined by broad mesas and alluvial washes, including Sisnathyel Mesa in the southwest and the expansive Apache Flats to the east. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the Tancosa Windmill, a critical landmark for livestock or travelers near the junction of several drainage systems. Seasonal watercourses like Peña Wash and Tancosa Wash thread through the township, occasionally feeding into small depressions such as Mule Lake. The map details a network of remote Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, such as Indian Svc Rte 6 and Indian Svc Rte 24, which cross the Sandoval and Rio Arriba county line to connect isolated outposts.
