About this map

Trampas and its neighboring villages of Vallecito and Cañoncito anchor this landscape, where early 21st-century topography meets traditional Northern New Mexico settlements. The southeastern corner is particularly rich in local heritage, featuring the Trampas Post Office, Las Trampas Cemetery, and the San José de Gracia Cemetery. The terrain is deeply scored by numerous cañadas, such as Cañada de Ojo Sarco and Cañada de Montecito, which feed into major watercourses like Embudo Creek and the Rio Grande.

Industrial history is written across the northern peaks and canyons, marked by a high concentration of mineral sites including the Champion Mine, the Harding Pegmatite, and several entries for The Tungsten Mine near La Sierrita. The presence of the El Llano Ditch near Montecito reflects the area's long-standing reliance on irrigation systems, while the Glen Woody Bridge and Glen Woody Camp mark a historical crossing point along the river corridor in the northwest.
