2020 Map of Truchas

About this map

Truchas and the surrounding high-altitude villages sit at the intersection of the Santa Fe National Forest and Carson National Forest. This 2020 topographic record shows a community landscape defined by traditional water management and high mountain drainage, including the Acequia de Ojo Sarco and numerous canyons like La Jara Canyon and Cañada Honda. The settlement pattern follows the Rio de Truchas and Rio Quemado, with distinct residential clusters at Vallecitos de Arriba, Vallecitos de en Medio, and Vallecitos de Abajo. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, identifying the Martinez Cem in the north and several others in the south, including the Truchas Pueblo Cem, Cordova Cem, and Campo Santo Cem near Cordova.
