2011 Map of Trujillo

About this map

Trujillo serves as the focal point for this high-altitude landscape where the San Juan River and Navajo River converge near the Colorado and New Mexico border. The 2011 survey records a network of ranching and tribal infrastructure, notably the Virginia Ditch and numerous routes including King Ranch Rd and various Indian Routes. The terrain is defined by dramatic landforms such as Archuleta Mesa and Montezuma Mesa, which are separated by a complex system of drainages like Montezuma Creek and Madrid Canyon. The canyon names themselves, such as Coal Mine Canyon and Rincon Bonito Canyon, reflect a history of resource exploration and specific family or descriptive identifiers in this river-cut corner of Archuleta County.
