About this map

Tinnie and Picacho sit at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the Hondo River valley cuts through a complex system of drainages. The area is defined by its deep canyons, including Chavez Canyon, Goat Canyon, and the prominent Tinnie Canyon. These landforms dictate the local road network, with routes like Co RD e022 following the contours of the valley floors.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early burial sites at Tinnie Cem and Picacho Cem, which serve as anchors for these long-standing rural communities. Beyond the settlements, the terrain is marked by essential water sources for ranching and wildlife, such as Galles Lake, Lost Lake, and Coyote Tank. The southern portion of the map is particularly high-relief, characterized by landmarks like Twin Butte Canyon and Bonney Canyon, illustrating the challenging geography of this part of Lincoln County.
