About this map

The Rio Grande cuts through the northwest corner of this New Mexico landscape, passing under the Glen Woody Bridge near Rinconada. This 2013 survey shows a region defined by high-elevation valleys and traditional settlements where water management is central to the community, evidenced by the El Llano Ditch near Dixon. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Carson National Forest, where numerous drainages like Cañada de Ojo Sarco and Rio de las Trampas flow out of the mountains toward the valley floor.

Local history is centered in established villages such as Chamisal and Trampas, the latter containing the San Jose de Gracia Cem. The topography is marked by significant peaks and ridges, including Copper Hill, Cerro Colorado, and Cerro Puntiagudo. These landmarks, along with a network of local routes like CO Road 64 and Prairie Road 1128, trace the connection between the high forest lands and the irrigated settlements along the river corridors.
