2011 Map of Taos SW

About this map

Rio Grande waters dominate the western edge of this landscape, carving through a network of high-desert canyons and drainage systems south of the Taos valley. The confluence of the Rio Pueblo de Taos and the Arroyo Hondo reveals a complex hydrological pattern, where traditional water management is visible through the presence of the Acequia Llano Quemado. The map documents a transition from residential developments on the outskirts of Taos, shown by local roads like Golf Course Dr and Vistalinda Rd, to the more industrial and natural features of the south.
